5 Surprising and Delicious Ways to Use Spam
In fancy places they call that Mortadella...
I was served Fonduloha, fruits, cottage cheese and shredded Mozzarella only. It isn’t half bad for a lite meal. There are lots of fruits you can use in it. No need for chicken salad or tuna.

When we were poor in those days fried spam sandwich wasn’t too bad:-)
Everything but the Seafood Coquilles looked good to me. I like my seafood breaded and deep fried...lot’sa tarter and cocktail sauce.
And, for dessert, I’ll take a big slice of the Lime Ribbon Delight cake with a glob of vanilla ice cream.
Heck, the truth be known, our little old church ladies were still serving some of this stuff at Wednesday night potluck dinners until the COVID struck.
Most of the 70’s looked kind of weird...that hadn’t quite perfected modern clothing....look like a lot of designs were made by people dropping acid.
Watch the tv shows from the 70’s.
Weird i tell ya.
Didn’t see anything especially terrible and I’m pretty sure I ate at least a few of these at various banquets and church get togethers back in the day.

5 Surprising and Delicious Ways to Use Spam
I collect old cookbooks. I have tons, including ones from Fanny Farmer and from the Harvey House which served railroad stop meals. They were all published before cholesterol was discovered and are fun to read and try when I get ambitious and nostalgic. I also have recipes passed down through the generations of my and my husband’s families, including ones I had to force grandmothers to make in front of me while I jotted down the ingredients and estimated the amounts.
The Frank Bean bake is pretty silly. Dump some franks and beans in a casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes at 300. Serve
“Oh it wasn’t all bad, I lived on fried bologna sangwiches “
Oh yeah. Back in the 50’s and 60’s.
ping!
My family was so poor we we had to eat bar-b-q road kill skunk for Thanksgiving........That’s how I got my name “Hot Tabasco” which was needed for the flavoring.,
The worst of the worst is this holiday “Gift From Your Kitchen”. 'Tis the season for what looks like sawdust and topsoil mixed together and pressed into a Bundt pan. Also, the recipe calls for 2 cups of ground suet, or beef fat.
In our neighborhood we call this treat "Woodpeckers' Delight"!
Love this thread. Thanks to all of you.
I have a big collection of vintage cookbooks and recipe pamphlets pre-1960’s. I love to read them - not usually cook from them - but they give you a general idea of life at the time. The illustrations are often gorgeous too.
If a recipe book is from 1965 on up, no thanks, and definitely not recipes from the 1970s. This thread reminds me of why I feel like that!

Pretty sure the first solid food I ever ate was Fried Balongna and pretty sure it was just tossed on my highchair tray
My Mom used to freak out when I told her about the stuff I could remember from back when I was just a toddler ;^)
(One room apartment back then)
the betty Crocker 1971 ring binder is what I learned to cook from.
Bought copies for all four kids, they all love owning it.
hard to find it vintage.
70’s = “vintage”?
Lord that makes me “old”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chicken salad with fruit in it ... yuk. My friend brags about how everyone loves her chicken salad, and when I tried it, there were GRAPES in it.
