In a weird way 70s decor makes more sense to me now.

I understand it through the art of vomiting.

Nah, three bean salad is grosser than anything posted in this thread thus far.

Grosser than "ladies' seafood"?

Wait... what is that; gravy-thick seafood chowder in a fondue pot, serve over some kind of roll? How is that gross?

Or am I just completely missing some key factor here?

I was a kid in the 70's and vividly remember weird jello mold concoctions. They were considered "elegant" and "futuristic". I found them plain gross. I loved jello with fruit in it, but it just got plain weird.

To this day, I SHUDDER with memories of seeing something like this on the buffet table at a family Easter dinner:

My mom had that mold. Mercifully, she only put fruit in the jello.

Jello with fruit was always good. With some whipped cream on holidays. Nobody in my family got outrageous with the molds. Usually they just used a bundt cake pan.

The most 70s my Mom ever got with her recipes was to try out a new hors d'ouevres for entertaining guests. Some variation of something on a toothpick or skewer with some weird dip or sauce.

The basic fruity stuff is good. Especially when you're a kid craving sugar.

"Knox blox" were a favorite too.

We used to have Mary Kitchen about one time a week. But everyone cooks it wrong and it comes it soggy.

You bake in the oven @350 for an hour stirring occasionally, should be very dry, can even add lima beans half way through. Last five minus make some room in the middle and break an egg into it and cook until done. Its so much different than the slosh when you try to pan cook it or microwave it.

thanks mom!

I always pan fry it and it turns out correctly. I've never heard of anyone cooking it the way you refer to here.

Just doing it the way my momma did.

Momma tried to cook the hash better
but her cooking I did deny
That leaves only my hash soggy
But momma tried.

20 years later I finally got it.
I put some oregano and pepper and a dash of garlic on it.

I think everyone smoked so many cigarettes back then they couldn't taste anything anyway. At least that's the only logical explanation I can come up with.

That's one of the only beans that makes me fart. I like them, but I get tired of being with myself after awhile :^P
