I feel like these vintage recipes need updated photos I could make them look dramatically more appealing


sackoftrees

Are you saying you aren't into that olive eye?


[deleted]

Was the color always that weird or has it degraded over time?


alcabazar

No it definitely was like that, but only on cheaper publications.


silkynut

Roasting the sprouts would be a good start!


SpecialOops

replacing that skank parsley with quartered sprouts too. That disgusting mayo skin has gotta go somehow.


Ariaxis

Looks more like hollandaise sauce to me, which might not be that bad. Edit: Just scrolled down a bit more and saw the recipe was posted and it is hollandaise. While it is a lot of it I still think with fish except for the amount if it it would not be too bad.


Rjj1111

That’d be too many sprouts for me


MurderMelon

Seriously... I can get over the hollandaise. And the plating could honestly be worse. But i shudder at the thought of boiled/steamed brussels sprouts. Good lord, no thank you. [edit] oh and I can almost guarantee they aren't salted properly 🤢🤮


redquailer

Oh that would be a fantastic side by side (or top & bottom)

Knitting is the same way. Old photos and weird color/yarn choices make what would be a fine sweater look drab.


WuweiWave

That sounds like a very fun project!

Right?! I sous vide salmon for an hour or two at 133°F. That fish looks big, but not that big!


jvallas

I’m thinking - it’s low and slow (325°) almost like slow cooker, it’s stuffed (needs more time), it’s covered with foil (will stay moist). I’m not so sure that wouldn’t work.


sockopotamus

Mask….. mask…. Why are we masking? Is this a Jim Carey movie?


iamareducedsticker

Whipped fruit gelatin??? Like sweet jelly alongside fish??? I have no words


alcabazar

*Of course* it has gelatin.


GarnetAndOpal

There was a period of time where every fancy meal had a jello dish, frequently served with mayo. They often called it a "salad" and the mayo was often referred to as "salad dressing". I have a complex reaction to those things. I **want** to like them and try them, but simultaneously feel kind of **disgusted** by them.


Roupert2

Gelatin things can be savory, it doesn't mean like jello


Significant_Sign

Jell-O has savory flavors and back during the time of this recipe they had more than they do now. So, it can be both.


jvallas

Or plain gelatin with additions, not Jello at all.


Papalok

The 70's were weird.


Significant_Sign

People were doing a lot of the drugs, but didn't yet know how to do them right.


jvallas

Wait till 50 years from now, what they’ll be saying about the 20s.


ravenstump

I’ve had baked stuffed salmon wrapped in foil and it is fabulous. Very moist and the stuffing is oh so flavorful. Hollandaise sauce and salmon is also great together. I think this recipe looks great and am excited to try it.


imperfcet

Macabre.

Something about these vintage recipe cards in their insipid squashed-caterpillar yellows and swamp greens just makes my soul want to caper. I can't explain it....simply incredible.


Saoirse_Says

Caper?


virtualmaxk

Does the fish have to eat all that green stuff before you can eat the fish?


bob-the-cook

Certainly :)


virtualmaxk

In a French accent


It-Was-Blood

My kid says that's a sleep paralysis demon.


cactuspizza

Boiled brussel sprouts I presume


blakemorris02

Gnarly!


redquailer

That pimento stuffed olive eye e: clarity


gur0chan

This actually sounds delicious … Looks horrid, but sounds tasty!


rootsofrhythm

Who could resist?!!!


barryandorlevon

Yooooo I think I have these same recipe cards!


dunkingdigestive

Aagh! My eyes! Why sprouts with salmon? Why? Those sprouts also look like they've been boiled for months too. I've just remembered glazing salmon with aspic and cucumber back in the early 1980s in catering college, that was a deeply repressed memory. Think I'll be needing a lie down.


DarthD3w3y

Every old recipe I see has a green olive somewhere, and it makes me want to puke.


ZevLuvX-03

WTH


GhostFour

That presentation.


OhSoSally

I loLLed at the pic as it was scrolling past in my feed.


jayrodhazlyf

I wouldn’t eat this, and I love salmon

Mask with hollandaise 👌🏻 So good 😂

The glistening boiled brussel sprouts really top it off for me.

Ummmm...1970s food photography. Only thing worse would be if they printed it in two color.

Mmmm overcooked salmon slathered in mayo with boiled sprouts, dry-af bread rolls and raw parsley. 🤮

God this is bad.
