    But why?

    Re-use the mould and encase it in jelly, then we’ll have an r/Old_Recipes classic on our hands! 😂😂😂

    Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. You absolutely never do this for example

    Home economists attached to cooking schools and food companies were big fans of making rings of rice, noodles and vegetables from the early to the mid-20th century. I think they were interested in finding creative ways to present the same old thing. It was extra fancy to present meat or meat plus gravy, or something else inside the ring. You also see Jello ring molds from mid-century with dressings or fruit inside the ring.

    this one is truly baffling. like i can get the “logic” behind the disgusting jello salads but i have no idea what baking alread-cooked egg noodles adds.

    I need so much more context for this creation. Baked butter noodles in a mold. Why??? Is it a pasta bar? Why is this a thing??

    Ah yes, my favorite genre of food: Toddler Gourmet!

    They really had to put EVERYTHING in some geletin. It’s hard to believe that many people liked aspic.

    Maybe they were inspired by timpano but afraid to actually add all the yummy ingredients??

    This is a wonderful example of how incredibly boring the housewife life is.

    I recognize that exact page. I know that cookbook by heart.

    Noodles are my comfort food, I would decimate that ring!!

  12. I’m mildly disappointed that there’s no jello involved.

    I think my family had the same book – I loved looking at the pictures!

  14. I don’t think this is silly at all. Add Parmesan and this would be a great way to use up leftover pasta (which this recipe could well be for). Fill up the middle with something delicious and saucy and that would make a fab dinner.
