website of forgettable food?
 

Does anyone have the link to that hysterically funny website
about the "Forgettable Food?" It was full of pictures and
commentary from old cookbooks and the like? But the food was
all kinda gross? Does anyone recall this site??

Granted, all these old recipes are kinda fun. And I guess it's hard to
believe people actually ate this stuff. OTOH, I think the author is
starting to become a bit of a bore. Like he's just grabbing for new
material for his next book. Whats wrong with frozen rabbit? Sorry, it's
just ain't funny, McGee. Besides, this guy seems to be trying to appeal to
those who want to feel superior about their allegedly sophisticated current
culinary tastes. It would be interesting to read the inevitable future
book/website lampooning current silly food trends like frappuccinos and
wraps and smoothies and peanut butter cup martinis, all of which I find
pretty damn funny right now.

....think I'll make up a lime jello and cottage cheese mold. ;)

Also:

http://www.ephemeranow.com/

Has many "mid - century" ads (cars especially), including food ads. It's a
great graphic resource.
