A seven (7) piece collection of recipe books relating to weird and unusual food. This strangeness can be do the recipe books almost religious adherence to using an unusual ingredient in every dish or to recipes that are either actually bizarre or just unfamiliar to modern day sensibilities. Below is a short description of each item in the collection. "Sixty-Five Delicious Dishes Made with Bread : Containing Tested Recipes Compiled for the Fleischmann Co." Publisher: The Fleischmann Company, New York, 1919. Compiled by Marion Harris Neil. This recipe book was intended "to show the various uses of Bread combined with other things which make wholesome, economical and tempting dishes". Sometimes this works, such as the different recipes of stuffing, dessert, or toast and other times, not so much. A few examples of dishes that might not go over so well with a modern-day crowd are: Oysters in a Crust Case, Eggs and Green Peas, and the Prune and Nut Sandwich. Several black and white illustrations of the prepared foods. 30 pgs, plus tear off order form. Blue illustrated wrappers. Staple binding. OCLC 34 (March 2021). Measures 7" x 5". "Good Enough to Eat With A Spoon! Slade's Peanut Butter". D. & L. Slade Company, Boston, MA, 1931. All the recipes "from soup[s] to nuts" in this brochure incorporate peanut butter in them. Some of the more esoteric ones are: Slade's Peanut Butter Tomato Soup, Peanut Butter and Chopped Prunes, Peanut Butter Roast (the peanut butter forms cakes as a meat substitute), and Slade's Peanut Butter Whipped Cream [Salad] Dressing. The brochure is only text, with the exception of the front, which has an illustration of a jar of peanut butter with a spoon on a black background. 8 part folded brochure. OCLC 1 (March 2021, Note: within a collection). Measures 6" x 3 1/2" (folded), 14" x 6" (unfolded). "Delicious Recipes That Hit the Spot! By Liberty". Publisher: Liberty Cherry and Fruit Company, Covington, KY, [1935]. To be fair to this entry in the collection, whether or not one likes maraschino cherries will determine whether some of the recipes are desirable. Some examples of the recipes included are: Cherry Tapioca, Cherry Mallows, Coffee Maraschino, Liberty Ice Cubes, Shady Quaff (an ice tea), and Baked Banana with Marshmallows. The majority of the recipes are accompanied with a small illustrations accented in red. 8 part, folded brochure. Hole punched. OCLC 1 (March 2021). Measures 6 3/4" x 4" (folded), 16" x 6 3/4" (unfolded). "New Recipes of Flavor : OXO Cubes" Published: OXO Ltd. [1935]. A recipe book for OXO cubes, also known as bouillon, broth or stock cubes.

OCLC 0 (March 2021, NOTE: This item comes up as a variant title of 'Recipes of Flavor', also some versions, like the Canadian one, has 36 pages). Measures 7" x 4 3/4". "The Occident Pantry Pals Invite You to Try Occident Flour Tested Recipes." Publisher: Russell- Miller Milling Co. Minneapolis, MN, 1940.
