The igloo is cute, and the hot dog fondue dosen't look bad. Same with the potato salad loaf.

"The good beef suet" is perhaps the most evocative and compelling tagline I've encountered in my 34 years on earth...

i wonder what food from today we'll be making fun of 40 years from now?
personally, i think it will be the dessert of strawberries, peppercorns and balsamic vinegar i had a while back. also watermelon and feta cheese salad.

The Swedish version is "the brown food" (site in Swedish), which doesn't just repost old photos, but also cooks the food and rates it. Some stuff gets surprisingly high scores (the reviewers are surprised too).

A lot of these are just bad photography. I'd totally eat that salmon, for example. The tomato refresher might be fine too. And the bananas wrapped in bacon with hollandaise sauce are very close to what people eat every day on their pancakes. It's just that the saturation is all weird, the lighting is bad, and it looks like the sauce has congealed. Hot out of the oven, I'm sure it would be fine.
