Fashionable Food
Today's highlights from Fashionable Food include what made food manly in the fifties. The barbecue being Man Cooking, apparently what kind of barbecue sauce you made determined what kind of man you were: fiery chili-based sauce meant you were a cowboy a la John Wayne, and if it was based in garlic and herbs you were a thinking gourmet like James Bond.
Also apparently REAL MEN ate MEAT, and real meat was steak. Also "Barbecued Bologna for Men a la Crisco", which I cannot imagine anyone eating but was apparently in a number of cookbooks during the period.
...at least they possessed some ability to feed themselves?
