I don't remember who I heard of this from, but I think it was someone on LJ, a fair while back, and I am eternally grateful to them:

Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974.

I remembered the site today, whilst looking at some of my mum's old recipe cards (from 1975, and of a very similar ilk) and had to go look for it. And as before, I cried with laughter.

Yes - at what point did these seem like a good idea? When would that ever, EVER look like something someone would want to eat? I can't belive that even in 1974 people thought, "Mmm, you know what I'd love? Red cabbage in gelatine."

I guess it's not that much of a stretch.

Really.

Still, it's awfully creative. And the props. Man.
