Recipe with unconsciously Freudian implications
I don't know whether this is the right group on which ask this
question, but I am avoiding the serious minded folk at alt.food.recipes. No recipe that I know of has so many sexual symbols as the one illustrated at http://www.box.net/public/static/76k82xao4y.jpg There is the crinkly lettuce representing the hair, the pineapple ring in which the banana is mounted . . . I won't go on. The recipe is for 'Banana Candles' and comes from the book "Be Bold With Bananas" (no author) published by M&R (no date, but probably the 1970s). It is distributed by The Australian Banana Growers' Council through the Banana Growers' Federation of New South Wales and the Banana Sectional Group Committee of the Committee of Direction of Fruit Marketing, Queensland. Pretty serious credentials really. Did none of these worthies hear alarm bells ringing? Arty Bee seems to have seen the point at http://www.artybees.co.nz/gallery-pa...ldBananas.html The Freudian symbolism is so outrageous that I am wondering whether this particular recipe was a deliberately insulting spoof created by some underpaid but imaginative author. Are there other recipes, presented in all seriousness, that show such a wealth of unconscious sexual symbolism? |

No, I had not seen those pages. Not much sexual symbolism, except for
the "erect weiners in a sea of beans" (that's surely not how the sausage is spelt?). Plenty of disgusting food there, but nothing of the extravagantly florid symbolism of the banana candles.

I have a similar "banana salad" recipe from the 1920s, before Freud's

And no wit ever noticed any anatomical similarities in foods before the doctor from Vienna? In Italy, hard biscuit-like cookies called Ossi del Morto ("bones of the dead") are baked once a year, and eaten the rest of the year. Bamborino, Italian for "plump infant," is also their word for flank steak of beef. In Mexican cuisine, a niño envuelto (a swaddled baby) is a tasty ingredient wrapped in a thin omelet. An Afghan dessert, made of rolled phyllo dough drenched in sweet syrup, is known as Asabia el Aroos ("bride's fingers"). English pastries, filled with strawberries, are known as "baby's arms" or "dead man's arms." Peter Farb has pointed out that these are not the only examples: "Italians symbolically cannibalize the most respected figures in their culture by eating such things as 'nun's thighs,' 'nipples of the virgin' and 'the pope's nose." Jeri Quinzio compiled an entire (and entirely delightful) menu of such dishes, called "Friends for Dinner:" MENU Finger Foods Lady's Thigh Meatballs Swaddled Babies Bloody Mary or Virgin Mary First Course Little Ears with Tomato Sauce Buttered *******s Blood of Judas Main Course Glasgow Magistrates Moors and Christians Dead Fingers, Penises & Testicles Tears of Christ Desserts Virgin's Breasts Chancellor's Buttocks Mother-in-Law's Tongues Milk of our Blessed Mother After Dinner Bones of the Dead Corpse Revivers |
