I adore Jane and Michael Stern's books. It's not food related, but their Encyclopedia of Bad Taste (1990), is a hoot for those who grew up in the late 50's and 60's.

James Lileks writing is very similar. His website takes me back to my mom's fancy cooking of the day. Lots of old photos and advertising make it alot of fun to peruse. He's also a bit of a conservative which is a rare bird in Minneapolis.

Sorry no live link. I tried twice and it wouldn’t work. :(

LOL! I recognized Lileks’ name, but had forgotten him. Thanks for the reminder!
