Judging Vintage 1970s Cookbook Recipes with Link's Father

Discover which bizarre, gelatin-heavy recipes from the 1970s actually passed the modern taste test, featuring valuable (and strange) historical fun facts from Link's dad.

Short Summary

  • Two out of four vintage recipes—Ham and Banana Hollands and Creamy Dried Beef Mold—earned the "Out of Sight" rating.
  • The tasting session aggressively explores the 1970s trend of incorporating gelatin into savory dishes like tomato refreshers and pizzas.
  • Readers gain insight into 1970s social norms from Link's father, Charles, who shares anecdotes about his early fatherhood and local customs.
  • This revisited episode allows the hosts to re-score historical food experiments based on present-day palates.

The episode revisits a journey back to the 1970s to sample four recipes pulled directly from vintage cookbooks. Link's father, Charles, joins the panel to provide context and share unique facts about the decade he raised his family in. Evaluate whether the culinary trends of the era deserve a comeback or should remain lost to time.

Todays "episode" or rerun if you will, feels like the equivalent of a teacher putting a movie on for the class because they're too hung over to teach.

I wouldn't mind more of episodes in this series. There are plenty of decades yet to explore.

Emily is so rocking the Farrah Fawcett hair...and her clothes are ready for disco nights. The only food I remember eating is the dried beef that came in a glass jar. It was good, but had enough sodium to cause your heart to flutter.
