I can't wait to see what these salads look like. How often do you actually make the recipes in your cookbooks? Ugh -- the Watergate Salad uses the metallic syrup leftover from draining the pineapple as the liquid for the pistachio pudding. Do they still make those multi-colored miniature marshmallows? God, I hope so. This truly is a treasure, isn’t it swankola? I can’t wait to see what these salads look like. How often do you actually make the recipes in your cookbooks?

Meanwhile, the Watergate Salad has no gelatin but has instant pudding instead! That, plus the audacity of naming anything "Watergate" in 1979 makes that one a must for anyone seriously aspiring to make bad salads.

As a cookbook collector I'm very jealous. This book reminds me of my old Newfoundland cookbooks; in one, the salad section is 2 recipes - one being pineapple cole slaw and the other a sandwich filling of corned beef, shredded cabbage and pickle relish.
