Funny Name: Simpler Times Edition

What do you think of when I say "Hollywood Dessert"? I imagine a mousse made of avocado, cacao nibs, and stevia, or maybe an organic quinoa, açai, and raw honey bowl or matcha-flavored frozen coconut-milk dessert. Apparently, the perceptions of Hollywood were a bit different in the 1970s, as A Kitchen Full of Joy (Flowing Wells Assembly of God Christ's Ambassadors, Tucson, Arizona, 1976) suggests.


Yeah, it's real Hollywood to dump a can of fruit cocktail into the cake batter. Different times!

  1. The 4 food groups or the 1970's: fruit cocktail, gelatin, cottage cheese, and cream soups. They can be eaten separately, or in combination (but I really hope not all 4 thrown together).

    1. That sounds about right! I probably have recipes with three of the four, but as far as I know, nothing with all four at once.

  2. Put it in the freezer instead of the oven, and it's a salad.
