My Rancid Valentine

It's Valentine's day, that time of year for those who are lucky in love to sicken those of us who are not. In the name of equal opportunity, I dedicated myself to finding a heart that could sicken everyone, coupled or not. From the Hotpoint refrigerator Approved Recipes collection (1937):


So here is a lumpy, canned catfood-colored heart (presented upside-down, but it is a heart!) studded with greenish-brown and blood red flecks. The pickly headdress and blocky radish roses try to make it look romantic and exotic, but instead make this gelatinous slab seem a little bit desperate.

If you need a recipe for an anti-Valentine's Day party or a (literal) gag gift for a not-so-beloved ex, here's the recipe:

    Heh heh, cat food heart! Wow! I agree, Poppy, I would only serve this to someone to an ex

      And only a bitter ex, at that! If you still want to be friends, this wouldn't be the way to go.

    Oh, that looks so....special? It does look like something my son would feed to Winston and Buffy, although they might turn up their delicate feline noses at it. Maybe my other son should feed it to Moose. That's it! A Valentine for your dog!

      That's true! It could be a good pet Valentine.
