re: #270 Blind Frog Belly White

That was diet food in 1974. Weight-obsessed American shoveled down cottage cheese by the bucketful.

Someone, maybe David Frum, was talking about looking at an old LIFE magazine from the 1940s, and noticing how much canned food, and really revolting-sounding recipes you’d see there. I remember when I used to think canned Wax Beans were so fucking AWESOME compared to canned Green Beans….

Mom knew how to doctor up cottage cheese. She’d mix fruit cocktail with it and sprinkle some cinnamon and nutmeg.

She didn’t like canned vegetables and preferred frozen. That’s a legacy she left me!
