I believe, there was a reason for all these horrible recipes from the 50s. Like all the savoury jello rings. Only wealthy people could afford refrigerators, so serving a congealed tomato soup ring with hotdogs inside, was a flex. In this case, I believe they were trying to use up canned goods left over from the war.
But there has to be a way to picture this in a more appetising way. Shit on a shingle looks decadent compared to this picture. It looks like the family cat vomited something onto the waffle before digesting its eyes.
