Okay what the hell is “fw it”
I wish I had just scanned these comments for your question and the answer. I asked AI and it slang shamed me. “Would you like help learning about more slang you have never heard?”
I have recipe books from that era and most of them are either excellent and timeless learning resources, or dubious cookbooks with characters that look like they want to poison me. No in between.
My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally “melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify”, encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.
I bet Lemmy would love some snapshots!
The mistake was to not turn it into an aspic.
Greatest Gen grandma would have cooked shit like that but she wasn’t daring enough. Seriously.
“I put an extra 1/16th teaspoon of paprika to jazz it up!”
I’d be an inch taller if I could have stomached her cooking as a kid. Dad (grandad) was too polite to say anything. “What a great meal!”
Paprika…that was on Dad’s side of the kitchen. Mom only had celery salt and thyme, and I think her 2 ounce bottle of thyme lasted my entire childhood. Everything tasted like Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom.
🤮
That kinda looks good to me. I would try it.
That looks like Chinese prison food.
look closer and you will see The mold.
Good on OP. “Traditional Girl” is stupid. Most women in history were in tribes and … well, I am not certain what they did. Camp fire cooking and berry picking. Some hunting. Not a lot of vacuuming or microwaving.
