There will always be people who eat weird stuff, but it can be jarring to find out that people en masse – or at least, Americans en masse – used to eat very differently from today. Some of these recipes-past sound interesting, and not necessarily in a bad way.
And some of them sound downright horrifying.
Here are 17 things people used to think were delightful dishes – a good mix of interesting and horrifying, I hope!
17. Tuna Fish Mold
What the hell does A1 have to do with this?
16. Party Potato Salad
More like cake!
15. SPAM Upside-Down Pie
That looks like Pepperoni!
14. Hamburger-Onion Pie with Bisquick and Cottage Cheese
I mean… WTF are you doing?!?
13. Frozen Fruit Cheese Salad
I see nothing wrong with this.
12. Ham and Banana Hollandaise
That sounds horribly amazing.
11. Mexican Shrimp-Orange Salad
Wait… what’s Mexican about this?
10. Hash Filet Mignon
Now THAT is a stretch.

Wait… is that cauliflower?!
7. Impossible Zucchini Tomato Pie
Honestly, I’d f**k with this and see what’s possible.

1. Patio Platter
Just read the ingredients if you don’t want to sleep tonight.
Interesting or not, I don’t think I’m going to be trying any of these out on my family anytime soon!
How about you – any of these going on your weekly rotation?
