Comments on: Fake Food? Pretty Much Rules. http://scentzilla.com/2006/12/14/fake-food-pretty-much-rules/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

I haven't had the Ritz mock apple pie in... god, so long that I forget what it tastes like! I have a few cookbooks from the 70s especially that are a total riot: yesterday I found a recipe for "red hot gelatin." It was cherry Jello moulded with applesauce and Red Hot candies. It sounds like it could either be crazy delicious, or... well, just crazy. Heh. I can't believe there is ANYONE who hasn't had tuna casserole with potato chips on top: you've just blown my mind. I thought that was a set part of almost everybody's childhood? I thought that was a ubiquitous dish. Wow. I am super glad to have left ol' green bean casserole (with tater tots, natch) behind, however. Dunno why but that was one dish that always used to gross my brother and I out when we were little.

What about the ritz cracker mock apple pie recipe? Where did Whip n' Chill go? I reread my magazine from the '60's and early '70's. So much fun and most of the products no more. Does she or doesn't she? Next time you serve clam chower, toss in a can of minced clams, juice and all. The compliments will overwhelm you! Or potato chip in tuna noodle casserole which I served to friends who HAD never had it. This is the perfect time for comfort food. Besides, we all know those preservatives in "fake food" (which actually came out of the space program endeavors, believe it or not) will keep us young!

It's also called a Hasty Pudding, except it needs 2 hours to cook in this case. I recently saw a recipe somewhere that's a popular family recipe but can't find it right now. Here's another one that I'd like to try: http://www.theheartofnewengland.com/food-Hasty-Pudding.html It's actually supposed to be served as an appetizer according to the tradition. You can learn more about Hasty Puddings here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasty_pudding This saltine recipe is also great to make w/ kids I'd guess. Plus my kid loves Saltines! Oh the possibilities! We've decided to have fresh oysters as appetizers. In France, you usually have that and/or foie gras, smoked salmon, and caviar as traditional holiday appetizers. Scentzilla,

Sounds pretty yummy to me. Same thing here. I have been browsing a number of delish sites specializing in gourmet food. Currently, I'm planning to replace the traditional French Yule Log with an Indian Pudding served w/ vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to get more of a Franco-American feel. What's on the menu for you? Oh, I was expecting something much worse when you said “fake food”. Sounds pretty yummy to me.

And sort of gross. I love toffee, I'll have to make it. I've always wanted to make the "mock apple pie" on the back of the Ritz box, too. My only real fake-food guilty pleasure is the boxed, dehydrated Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes (or the Au Gratin), both of which remind me of childhood. I've made them with real potatoes, and ... it's all wrong. Oh, and brownie mix. That is hilarious! And sort of gross. I love toffee, I’ll have to make it.
