🧵 In a recent pineapple pizza thread, Brian Gettler mentioned that many traditional recipes handed down to us were actually corporate recipes.
One of my favourite memories from the ā€˜50s is of walking home from school for lunch for a hot, steaming plate of Campbell’s soup surrounded by a fan of Premium crackers smeared with Cheez Whiz.
This inspired me to share a few family favourites from my mother’s ā€œCheez Whiz Idea Bookā€.

@evelyntheriault LOL. That reminds me of the Gallery of Regrettable Food https://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/

@evelyntheriault Ah - THIS is the one I was really trying to recall: https://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html
Weight Watchers recipe cards, circa 1974

@CakesOfPan Hahaha! that’s a great site.
I found one recipe in my Cheez Whiz Book that would be a good candidate for the Gallery of Regrettable Food - and I proudly present Cheemato Soup - tomato soup, tuna and pasteurized cheese spread.
