Cookery Horror

Posting stupid pictures and making fun of them is a time-honoured internet tradition, and I'm not going to be the first to break this charming and harmless custom.

So, have a terrifying recipe book from some time ago. Back in the days when nothing was so important to cookery photography as glisten. Can you imagine eating any of these things?



A display of bird life, killed and cooked, or possibly just painted. In the background, mad Uncle Fred cackles; his plan has come to fruition. A child looks on in confusion. Lady in pink pulls her face into a hideous rictus of a grin; she never should have accepted the invitation to dine.



This appears to be some sort of cake made out of salmon. And probably gelatin. They liked their gelatin in those days.



Can I press you to an artichoke with white goo? Or perhaps you'd prefer a thistle with a bee in it? Yes, that might be the safer choice.



No comment.



That's a hedgehog made out of ham. Yes it is. It is to be served with toast.



What's this? Why, ham jelly, of course. What else? Served cold.



A stark warning on xeno-transplanation.

More may follow, depending on my levels of nausea.
