17 Upsetting Recipes from Buzzfeed (17)
If your *really* want to make your stomach roil and kick in the flashback machine full-bore, you’re not going to to much better than this terrible, horrific, splendidly awful piece from Ryan Kincaid at Buzzfeed.
Ryan brings you some real doozies, like “curried fish in rice ring” and “cheeseburger pie.”
He illustrates it all with those old Betty Crocker recipe cards, and the dingy 70s photography will help you feel really depressed about things.
The only drawback here is that, if you want to actually prepare these dishes, you’ll have to find another source or look up the cards themselves, as Kincaid leaves out the gory details.
Think of it as a safety valve.

Do You Really Crave These?? (10 recipes)
You can count on the Food Network to help you satisfy any of your wild cravings, and 70s yuck is no exception.
In this article by Michelle da Silva, you’ll find ten dastardly delectables from the 70s like Fondu, Cheese Balls and Logs, and — ugh — Watergate Salad.
That last begs the question …
You suppose there will be someone waxing nostalgic for Coronavirus Casserole in 50 years or so, recalling how this or that politician bungled 2020 while chowing down on whatever unknown bits might be in the dish?
Beats me!
You’ll have to do a little extra work here if you want to actually make these “treats,” though, as Da Silva doesn’t give us actual ingredient lists and instructions.
Bless her.
