  1. I love old cookbooks, but it always makes me a little sad(?) when there’s old products that haven’t existed in decades as a large component of the dish. I always wonder what that item’s taste and texture was like, and if there’s any modern equivalents or if that’s been left in the past… always an interesting mystery.

  2. This is so neat! Great find. We tried looking up the substitutions from the 70s because we were so intrigued lol. 

  3. I make basically the Western Veggie Soup. However, I use V8 instead of condensed tomato soup. I just throw any veggies that I have in(frozen and fresh), “chicken” broth, V8, garlic, and McCormick Grill Mates Mintreal seasoning. It is very versatile.

    I grew up seventh day Adventist lol. This brings back memories. As soon as I saw this post I thought “I bet this is Adventist” lol
    I love collecting old cool books. Vegetarian ones are my favorite because they had to be so creative before stuff was widely available.
    SDA are very into Loma Linda canned and frozen meat alternatives.

    There’s also “special k loaf” that was a staple

    I think the Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda, CA are the only blue zone in the US. On average, they live 10 years longer than the average US Citizen. And no Greek yogurt or beef tallow in sight!

  6. Is the oatmeal patty recipe in this book?

    I can never remember the patty ingredients but it was quick oats with something and eggs to bind. You formed that mixture into a small patty and fried in a skillet until crispy.

    Once mixture was all fried into patties you added mushroom soup as a sauce to finish it.

    It was served as an entree.
