When I hear the word “vintage” I imagine something cool, collectible, and maybe even valuable. Today I learned that doesn’t necessarily apply to recipes.
Through food, we can learn about traditions in other cultures and families that have passed down recipes for generations. Things that were considered “delicious” 50 or more years ago are now considered “vintage” and we should only keep those recipes for us to remember where we’ve been so we know to never go back. If you ever need a reminder that it’s a good time to be alive it’s that you’ll never visit a friend’s house for a nice helping of “Ham and Bananas Hollandaise.”
These gross vintage recipes from f**kyeahvintagerecipes will make you feel better about ordering delivery for the third time this week. I’m glad these are a thing of the past.
