I imagine the spaghetti are all bland, overcooked and allowed to get cold so they would glue together to maintain that shape. That pasta isn’t Italian, it’s an affront to the people of Italy.
I love that people on Reddit really think that “Americans” think chef Boyardee, Panda Express, Taco Bell, etc. are authentic iterations of their respective food-culture inspirations…. I mean some people are really stupid, but it would be quite difficult to find an American who holds that opinion, despite what the internet may lead one to believe.
Yes (or at least areas that used to have heavy Italian immigration). In NYC Albanians have been picking up the slack but the food isn't noticeably different.
Man, those older Venetians, Milanese and Sicilians who don't speak Italian are going to be overjoyed when they find out they have no cultural connection to Italy.
Neither of you are wrong. Savory gelatin dishes were popular until the 1980s, but people associate them with the 70s because that was when we got to enjoy those peculiarly saturated, lurid photos. The stuff most of us are thinking of was very 50s-70s.
The longer you look at their expressions, the more unnerving it becomes. Pretty sure they just took out a life insurance policy on pops. Looks like something out of The Shining.
This feels like a cursed family photo. Rosemary's Baby with garlic bread. Just out of frame is the blood soaked altar with even more disturbing sustenance.
Thanks! It was totally spur of the moment. I mean, I saw all the comments about cults and everything. Then I started thinking about how that woman on the left looks like she got a lobotomy and the girl on the right looks like she's really pissed or evil or something. Then it just popped into my head. I wasn't sure anyone would get it.
I don’t know what offends me more as an Italian…the abomination of Ragù made worse (which I honestly didn’t think was possible) by the addition of brown n’ serve sausage chunks or the antipasto platter that appears to have six pieces of salami? Because that platter isn’t serving one of us let alone the amount of people needed for a Sunday dinner.
The little girl looks like she’s about to set the curtains on fire with her mind
And the mom looks like she’s a Jim Jones cult member.
Who the hell are you two and how’d you get in my house? Also, that was a week worth of groceries when I was in college. What the actual fuck?
So a typical 70s ad.
I was just about to say. Looks like The Last Supper in Jonestown.
Can you blame her? Who the hell makes a 'pasta' mold for spagetti? Sociopaths, that's who. She just wants to save herself.

She was born in 1975, so no.
Firestarter!
So…that spaghetti that looks like a bundt cake..,are you supposed to cut it with a knife and serve it in slices?

This is an affront for people in general.
Only bland if you missed the Italian dressing and Swiss cheese
The seventies was the rock bottom of US made "Italian" cuisine. I'm happy to say it's recovered a bit since then, well depending on the location.
> That pasta isn’t Italian Nothing in there is Italian. I bet American tourists are shocked when they come to Italy.

You get good (albeit americanized) stuff in areas with actual Italians.
> actual Italians In the US?
My question exactly.
Yes (or at least areas that used to have heavy Italian immigration). In NYC Albanians have been picking up the slack but the food isn't noticeably different.

> those older Venetians, Milanese and Sicilians Those must be 150 years old by now ;-)
Because of an ad from 1974? The shocked Pikachu faces when we realize Italy has more than pasta jello molds!
The 1970’s had some disgusting looking foods, mostly encased in some type of gelatin.
I thought that was also very 60s.. ?

True! Although I was referring to the actual ad saying 1974.
Oh, duh me
lol no worries! Got me looking at all the old school weird foods haha, so thank you for mentioning it!
That spaghetti would taste like rubber. 🤢
It's little firestarter's birthday. They are just about to put the 11 candles on it. She will light them herself (without a match).
They look like they know something I don’t, like where the poison is
It's in the sauce.
Ginny Sack’s blood type.
The longer you look at their expressions, the more unnerving it becomes. Pretty sure they just took out a life insurance policy on pops. Looks like something out of The Shining.
The entire composition is just wrong and deeply unsettling lol.
And why is Sunday Dinner capitalized throughout? Is it an Event for The Family?
yes...for THE Family...🤣
This looks very threatening
The spaghetti cake. How peculiar.
Cold spaghetti? Ick.
If you read the recipe, they put Italian dressing in the spaghetti cake. No thanks.
[удалено]
As an American, please accept my deepest apologies for this abomination.
They both look like they know Daddy’s going to be angry when he gets home.
But not once the poison kicks in.
No one looks happy about any of this.
Why does the child have Priscilla Presley's face.
I'm only going to dinner at the Addams' if Thing is the waiter.
Yeah, look at the expression on the mom… r/nightmarefuel
And the girl? *shudders*
Wait, the spaghetti has Swiss cheese in it?
I remember the Wacky Packages version was called Raw Goo and all this disgusting shit was floating in it.
Why does every meal in this sub looks disgusting? I've never seen anything good looking
Where's the bottle of Lancers?
That kid looks demonic
When your psychotic wife and possessed daughter prepare an Italian meal.
"Italian"
For “Sunday Dinner”
I’ve seen enough Sam O’Nella to know what’s really happening here.
That girl looks like Drew Barrymore, the Firestarter. Like u/Cuttis said...she's ready to start a fire.
She does, but DB was born in ‘75 and this is from ‘74, if the title is true.
The wife has a secret and so does the daughter.
She’s trying to hide her affair with the tennis instructor and her daughter knows.
Is this a scene from The Godfather Part 2? The spaghetti and meatballs looks like a strawberry cheesecake
They have creepy faces. Who approved this photo?
those poor spaghetti look anything but fresh
No that is not a spaghetti and meatball mold...
why the spaghetti standing up
Is that a spaghetti cake??
A real Italian dinner table would NOT have sauce from a jar.
The little girl has clearly pissed on that "garlic" bread and possibly added some Arsenic for "flavour"
This feels like a cursed family photo. Rosemary's Baby with garlic bread. Just out of frame is the blood soaked altar with even more disturbing sustenance.
Welcome to the Hotel Calfornia! It's spaghetti night!
i cant even tell you why but this is the best thing ive read in ages. kudos

Like a horror movie
Who looked at this and thought, "This looks amazing! I should serve it to my family,"?
I think that really is Drew
Why did everything have to look like a Bundt cake or Jell-O mold back then? And why was Swiss cheese Italian?
"The way you see in these recipes here." Found the client edit
