@GayOldTime
Has anybody tried that? I'm a big fan of fruity & salty, but this one looks advanced. Most of all the Hollandaise looks too good to be true.

GayOldTime, 7 months ago

@timbo I imagine this was shot cold. The bananas look raw, and the hollandaise would probably curdle when baked.

@GayOldTime
True. However, baked banana and ham might work.

@GayOldTime @BlippyTheWonderSlug That's a great website. I may give this one a try... after all, who doesn't like surprise meat!

GayOldTime, 7 months ago

@druid It appears that the surprise is a deep fried strawberry

@GayOldTime OH GOD NOT THAT RECIPE AGAIN ! ... I have the full recipe somewhere, long ago IIRC there was a website with all those "ultra weird old american food recipes" .. they used to put lime jell-O in every possible place and mayo and cheese !

GayOldTime, 7 months ago

@gilesgoat You get the impression that the average American pantry contained Jell-O, canned soup, mayo, and nothing else

gilesgoat, 7 months ago

@GayOldTime .. bacon and butter and some salad/cabbage in the fridge .. in fact kid not I think I remember a recipe that was chopping finely salad and cabbage, mix it with mayonese and semi-cold lime Jell-O, put it into a mold and let it set in the fridge. Serve decorated with more mayo.

@GayOldTime The 70s were just a whole thing.

@angiebaby 70s clothes eventually came back into fashion. The food, not so much.

everbern, 7 months ago

@GayOldTime There are at least ten ways to present this recipe and they went with "child's mistake".

GayOldTime, 7 months ago

@everbern "Serve with wax fruit and a strictly decorative salad."

@GayOldTime I can’t stop wondering - why bananas? (Not you, of course; whoever published this recipe.)

GayOldTime, 7 months ago

@terrafied Why not bananas?

Have you seen the similar recipe for banana candles. It's a "treat". 😂

GayOldTime, 7 months ago

@ipxfong That's a treat I'm saving for my Holiday Special

ipxfong, 7 months ago

@GayOldTime
It's true it is very... uh... festive.

gbsteve, 7 months ago

@GayOldTime Because an endive would be un-American?

GayOldTime, 7 months ago

@gbsteve Or just un-available at a grocery store
