It is really interesting the way our diets have changed over the years. What was once considered the norm would be completely crazy now! Check this out and add yours!

OK Guys, I came across this recipe while thumbing through an old church recipe booklet. This recipe is from the 70's and I could not believe the ingredients.

CRISCO SALAD

1 Cup Crisco
2 eggs
1 cup pecans
1 cup sugar
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 package graham crackers
1 box strawberry jello

Cream Crisco and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and beat well after each one. Add pineapple and nuts. Line bottom of long pyrex dish with crackers.
Add half of mixture, spreading over crackers. Add another layer of crackers and rest of mixture. Mix jello according to directions on package and let stand in refrigerator until almost congealed; spread on top of mixture. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

NOTE THAT THIS CONTAINS A WHOLE CUP OF CRISCO, AND ALSO THAT IT CONTAINS 2 EGGS BUT IT IS NOT BAKED OR COOKED IN ANY FASHION.

WOW!

Somebody must have liked it enough to put it in a cookbook. I hope I never ate it! And to think...they actually named it Crisco salad!

WOW!

This sounds more disgusting than a "Lard Sandwich". People survived on lard sandwiches during the Great Depression. I'll pass on the Crisco Salad.
