We’re Gonna Have A “Spam Bake!”
Who’s hungry? I’m making some of the wildest, most retro recipes I can find on this “What The Friday” feast!
Save Room For The Mayonnaise Mold!
Well, doesn’t that look delicious? It’s just one of many wacky and REAL recipes from a bygone era – gone for a reason!
I found these pictures on Pinterest, which led me to a terrific article called “9 Vintage Recipes That Are So Weird, You Won’t Believe They Ever Actually Existed” By REBECCA DECZYNSKI – it’s four years old but just as entertaining now – you can see the entire article here:

One of the items is a “canned hamburger” and as some of you know, I’ve eaten one of those!
My “Cheeseburger In A Can” Taste Test!
Yes, my son bought me some “cheeseburgers in a can” and we tried one – want to know how it tasted? Checkout my story, with lots of picture, right here!

John, I confess that I still occasionally buy Spam. It is no longer sold in tins here, but in plastic boxes. I enjoy a Spam sandwich, as it takes me on a trip down memory lane. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, spam has made a comeback among foodies, with fun stuff like spam sushi that is giving it a fun taste for the future!

These are interesting, John. It is a pity I can’t see the dates of the recipes, they may have been from the war when people had to make do as best they could with very few ingredients.

I think they are 70’s era, from the look of the ads…but that’s an interesting point!
