"Munster Menus - The spooky Munster family on the sitcom THE
MUNSTERS/CBS/1964-68 ate a strange assortment of foods. Most of the
Munster's meals were prepared by devoted housewife Lily Munster who eagerly
encouraged her little boy Eddie "Don't just sit there, wolf down your food."
The following is a list of typical food fare eaten by this most unusual
family. Their main diet included chopped lizard livers, cold rhinoceros
tongue sandwiches, fillet of dragon, eggs (Gloomy side up), cream of vulture
soup (Herman's favorite), curried lizard casserole, rolled hyena-foot roast,
bird's nest stew (Grandpa's favorite), warm ladyfingers with pickled frog
ears, Dodo bird roast, cream of buzzard or iguana soup; cactus salad, and
salamander salad with centipede dressing. Choice of beverages were Bloody
Mary or bat's milk (served hot). Their meals were topped off with a nice
serving of Devil's Food cake. Lily wasn't the only cook in the family.
Grandpa Munster who often concocted potions in his basement laboratory once
made some Nothin' Muffins (one bite turns anything into nothin') As he
recalled "Thirty years ago in Detroit, a fellow ate a batch of 'em. Next day
he sat down and designed the Essex."

An Essex is a automobile too, but much, much earlier... unless you're my age or
older chances are you've never seen an Essex up close and personal... but you
are certainly of Edsel vintage, although not quite old enough to remember them
other than as collector cars... you were probably a mere child when Edsel hit
the road, and they were practically entirely off the road well before you were
of legal driving age.

Ah, you'd be surprised! The link brought back my memory. My uncle had a
1929 Hudson Essex stored in my maternal grandmother's garage for years on
end. She didn't drive (neither of my grandmothers did). When my uncle
died, she gave the car to my cousin who sold it to some guy for a mere $300.
The only thing it needed was a new battery, a tuneup, tires and a wax job.
I tried to tell him, you're throwing away a great classic car for pennies!
Wouldn't listen to me. I heard the man who bought it later sold it for
about $40K. Probably still too cheap, but this was in the 1970's. It was a
pretty car; loved the running boards
