Why? Why does every old weird recipe from the 1950s and 1960s include olives?
That’s not a recipe, that is bio-terrorism.
It’s just the Great Value version of fried chicken and waffles.

If you want to watch a fabulously flamboyant gay man cook disgusting vintage recipes check out “Eye Spy Antiques” on YT.
A lot of fun.
I was assuming you were talking about B Dylan Hollis until you got to the name of the channel.
Looked it up. That dude looks like he really enjoys making videos.
Lol you weren’t joking. This dude is cracking himself up.https://youtu.be/3eNDNCe4rRw
Absolutely. I’m having fun watching because he is clearly having fun creating.
Holy shit, thank you for pointing out this dudes channel, he is fucking hilarious. I was hoping someone would cook these shitty recipes and try them out.
Edit: “gonna taste like shit, but it’s stunning” ROFL
This dude is great
It might be potato waffles
I would like to try it, depending on “mushroom soup” it might be great or disgusting, everything else is ok.
Doesn’t sound bad tbh…i like savory waffles. Don’t sugar the dough (no idea if thats a thing, just guessing) and you are good to go
I’ve noticed that American recipes often have ingredients like “1 packet (brand name) (foodstuff)”. I wonder if this kind of advert is how it started.
Lots of American food companies use recipes on the box to give the buyer an idea of what to make. This was a part of American food packaging going back to the Depression; learning to work with what we had was the lesson of the period. It was a time of searching for what was cheap and learning how to make it palatable.
Also quite a few packages include recipes.
- my family recipe for pecan pie has always been from the bottle of Karo Syrup
- green stuff I made for New Years was originally from a package of Jello brand Pistachio instant pudding
- family pumpkin pie recipe was from a can of pumpkin
TFW grandma finally hands down her secret recipe book and they’re all clipped from boxes of supermarket food items and adverts in Good Housekeeping.
That happens all the time too. I’ve heard people more than once tell me they found out that their traditional family recipe for whatever came from the back of a box of Bisquick.
Pretty sure that’s exactly how that started. Much easier to sell more of your industrially made foodstuff if you give people some ideas about what to do with it.
I fear soup over waffles is a poor example of that but I understand.
Use more of (brand name’s) stuff to sell more. That’s all there was to it. No idea why on Earth some of these were so horrendous, though.
And they used to sit us down and scream at us until we ate every last bit of it.
That’s child abuse
Nowadays
There’s worse…
What a terrible day to have eyes
Amateur night compared to creamed corn bologna boats.
might be slightly better than some of the stuff they put in jell-o back then.
also note the size of can tuna used to come in… SEVEN OUNCES (compared to the 5oz ones we’ve had now for like 15+ years)
That recipe says for 4. So that’s actually not a lot of tuna per person.
Recipe calls for four waffles. Image shows the concoction poured over two waffles.
Apparently two people will be eating off the same plate.
There also appears to be some sort of sliced lunch meat in the mix there. Again… lawless hellscape.
I dunno. 1.75 oz of tuna on my waffle is far too much tuna on my waffle.
Tuna waffle is gonna be the next big thing.
But that 7oz of 50s tuna was also like 20% dolphin by weight. It’s 5 ounces of tuna.
I’ve been watching “Sandwiches of History” on YT lately and I believe sometime in the 1980s people realized food could taste good
Chicken of the sea and waffles?
When all the flavor buds were covered by cigarette tar
