Ah, the good ol' days of stay at home wives trying to impress their man with awkward Betty Crocker recipes.

I've never seen any of the dishes in the pictures in the article I linked. I have a hard time believing the woman of the 50's and 60's served that banana candle even as naive as they may have perhaps been. I just can't see it.

Gee, I love the pineapple of peach with the mayo, shredded cheese and cherry on top. There's something about the mayo and the salt in the mayo that just goes with the sweet fruit.
