In the News:

Retro is often exciting, especially in fashion. But when it comes to food, retro is usually meet with horror ― and for good reason. Retro foods are beloved by only the culinary brave; to all others, they’re an atrocity. They’ve been known to ruin a great many appetites.

I came across the nine worst retro recipes to have ever disgraced the holidays. They include:

#1 - Tuna Christmas Tree

#2 - Tomato Aspic ( a moldable jelly made from gelatin and stock)

#3 - Christmas Candle Salad (lighted bananas sticking out of shaped cranberry sauce)

#4 - Shrimp Christmas Tree (Sea food)

#5 - Santa’s Whiskers (candied cherries with pecans formed in logs of dough, topped with flaked coconut)

#6 - Cranberry Candles (I think the name says it all)

#7 - Christmas Confections (trees were built with Cheerios dyed with green food coloring, marshmallows and gumdrops)

#8 - Frozen Fruitcake Salad (Don’t be fooled, this is no salad.)

#9 - Cocktail Weenie Tree (little smokies on toothpicks stuck in a green styrofoam pyramid)
