Recipes from the 1960s were unusual, to say the least. It was a time when people were starting to experiment with new ingredients and they seemed to be throwing everything together without putting much thought into it. Today, Chef Gordon Ramsey would just die if anyone tried one of these recipes on his show.
Recipes from this time period were a mixture of old and new. The plain war and depression recipes, while still standards, were slowly being replaced with different ingredients. Housewives wanted something new to serve their families and all bets were off when it came to serving guests because, honestly, some of their meals were downright gross.
