The Gallery of Regrettable Food

I don’t care how weird this book seems to be on the surface, it is one of the funniest I have ever read. James takes pictures and descriptions from recipe books of yesteryear (defined as any time before I was born) and just makes fun of them. Sometimes the excerpts are funny enough by themselves and require no commentary. Consider this MST3K for food, an idea who’s time has come.
