Brings to mind James Lileks' "Gallery of Regrettable Food", https://lileks.com/institute/gallery/ https://lileks.com/institute/gallery/. I was born in 1960, so missed most of these delights - I suspect they mostly tailed off by the mid-60s. But, yeah, I remember some of the recipe cards my mom had from the 50s and early 60s were pretty frightening. Edit: and, of course, the Gallery is linked early in the article.
