I believe, there was a reason for all these horrible recipes from the 50s. Like all the savoury jello rings. Only wealthy people could afford refrigerators, so serving a congealed tomato soup ring with hotdogs inside, was a flex. In this case, I believe they were trying to use up canned goods left over from the war.
But there has to be a way to picture this in a more appetising way. Shit on a shingle looks decadent compared to this picture. It looks like the family cat vomited something onto the waffle before digesting its eyes.
I think its more that these people had just lived through the depression, a world war, and likely canned if they didn’t live in a city. Canning and canned food lasts longer than anything fresh there also wasn’t the logistics trail to get fresh food as far.
It looks like the average household income in 1950 was about $23,000 and the average refrigerator was $250 so I don’t think only rich people had refrigerators at least in the US.
