Recreating the internet's worst recipes.

"There’s a lot going on!” "I don’t want to analyze it!” Omg this made me laugh so hard!

Ollies crackers might have helped

I understand this food was born out of necessity, but the flavor combinations blow my mind. Like none of this even sounds remotely appetizing, and that’s not even from a recency standpoint. Who mixes lime jello with seafood, onion, and cottage cheese? it doesnt even sound real

I would not have survived the 1950s!!

Lime jello with cottage cheese is actually really good. The lettuce, onion and seafood salad is weird.

Sorry fellas but….both of you would make a freight train take a dirt road.

I love these jolly episodes where I laugh until I cry and this one definitely did that for me. Thank you 🙏🏼😂

"tomato refresher"...how do those two words even go together?...

I miss these fully goofy episodes. Might be fun to see something like a not-awful weird old recipes thing (B. Dylan Hollis has a whole cookbook of those, though it has some marked awful ones too)

The creations of a lot of enraged 1950's housewives.

Jenny must be an amazing chef to have created all of these food abominations, especially the pineapple one!! 😮

I am usually jealous of all the great foods they get to try and eat..... today I am glad to say that I am VERY happy NOT to be them!

These recipes were definitely made during the war and it just carried over.

I thought this was the worst costumes episode 😂

It is amazing anyone survived the 50s.

Its not funny when a man dresses like a woman. Joke or not just sad. Is this a humiliation ritual?

THE OUTFITS😂😂😂😂

After this era came the 1960s and tv dinners.

Makes me think of the cooked meats in aspic… I will never understand the need to put a cooked meat in a horrifically under-flavoured ‘jelly’ when you’re not doing it solely for the purpose of preserving it. It’s something that should be consigned to the desperation of the ‘war years’…🤢🤢🤢🤢

Can you imagine the husbands coming home from working and being served some of these foods for dinner?!

This is very much in the spirit of James Lileks’s’ hilarious book, The Gallery of Regrettable Food. His comments on each of the culinary horrors are laugh out loud funny. Highly recommend it.

This was the era where gelatin ceased to be some untouchable industrial thing and became available in little instant boxes at home. So everyone jellied everything. It was much like the 'bacon makes everything better' era or that molecular gastronomy silliness where they were turning everything into deconstructed foam. The jellying also preserved food and acted as a filler.

If you look at the video carefully, the person on the right of your screen is the serial killer

Still better than British food....

My goodness these guys are committed. I would not eat a mouthful of something that is confirmed to taste horrible.

I am guessing these were taken from american recipes. The english would still be on rations for the most part

Ollie looks just like my grandma circa 1955 😂 love your channel! It brings so many people together. idk if you’re still taking snacks to try from different states but Colorado USA has a lot to offer and I’d love to send some!

What is going on ladies!!

Ollie has a angry bush

Also Ollie you are a handsome woman

Spit bucket please

You all are killing me. Yet I can't look away.

RAll of those were horrible, I somewhat gagged for everyone except the melon

Aunty Josh and Grandma Ollie😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ Love you guys!!!!

Too funny!!

How horrible is it that I actually remember some of these that my grandmother made

Josh, you look a bit like Austin Powers! YEAH BABY YEAH!!!

I think maybe just because it was in a book doesn’t mean anybody ever eat it. JO came up with it. They put it in a book people like no thank you and then they came up with another one.

These creepy Jello salads were all the rage when I was young. People would grate carrots in neon green jelly. It was so disgusting. Consider yourself lucky😅

Jolly's toilets must hate them...

I like lime jello with cottage cheese and shredded carrots

My grandma made some truly horrendous jello dishes. Unfortunately we had to try them according to my mother.

😂

Olly is so comfortable as that chick 😂

I want to see Ollie's costume closet! And apparently, wig room! 😂😂😂

Whipped cream instead of cream cheese

"I like you, but kind of as a joke."

You guys get me.

There are two things to take from this video. First, Americans need to stop talking crap about UK food after this video. Also, Josh can dress as Danny sitting next to Ollie dressed as Sandy, and Josh looks more feminine.
