And They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love Waffles
Mmmmm, is there anything more wonderful than regrettable foodstuffs from the recent past rendered in nauseatingly lurid colors? Retro Recipes doesn't think so, and serves up 30 pages with over 75 scans of piping-hot old recipe cards.
Pay particular attention to the horrid Jell-O salads (the kind that Czeltic Girl likes), and for Christ's sake (literally), don't miss the galleries of scans from the TBN Family Favorites Cookbook where you'll find tragic makeup and big-hair disaster, Jan Crouch's Meatloaf, along with Pat Robertson's Self-Control Chili and Love Waffles. I don't have to tell you that just thinking about Pat making something called Love Waffles is making my skin crawl, do I?
Comments
Why do you encourage me to waste my time reading this stuff? I thought I escaped the likes of Jan Crouch and Pat Robertson when I decided Christianity wasn't for me. But here you are, shoving them in my face. Argh!
Love waffles? Oh My God!
I'll get you back, somehow. You just wait.

Oh there you go again, blaming me for your lack of self-control...;-) You should look at this as confirmation that your decision to get away from people like Crouch and Robertson was the correct one!
Btw, if I haven't mentioned it to you before, I used to be a JF too back in the 70s, but I don't recall that people like Jan and Pat were ever looked upon as anything other than money-grubbing Pharisees by us radical Christian street people.

The only thing food related I would like to hear about Pat Robertson .... Through the use of a time machine he is sent back to 17th century
Polynesia where he assumes the role of Missionary man in his vain attempt to convert the natives. The natives have different ideas and roast Mr Robertson on a spit with their favorite pork seasonings.

A site dedicated to Jell-O Salads should never have a section called "meat salads". That's just... wrong. So very, very wrong.
I think I'm going to be ill.
What is wrong with people? Why is Jell-O still considered a food?

Why is Jell-O still considered a food?
Because it's made from gelatin which in turn is made from bone, skin, and cartilage?
I ate boiled cow hooves in Beijing that had a very similar consistency to Jell-O mixed with Elmer's Glue.
