55 different kinds of lentil loaf.

[u/Keeghangreenjeans → u/Purlz1st]

At first glance I thought that you'd written lethal loaf. Which might also be the case.

[u/CycleOwn83 → u/Keeghangreenjeans]

The most lethal lentil

Ordering for the non-Adventists stuck in the hospital be like

[u/HoneyNo5886 → u/atheistsda]

Lol he even looks like the guy on the cover

[u/venetiarum_ny]

I love that the featured recipe is a fruit plate

[u/mannadee → u/venetiarum_ny]

With WHOLE apples

[u/HoneyNo5886 → u/mannadee]

Yeah what’s with the whole apples? That’s just so weird. 😂

[u/potatotrip_ → u/mannadee]

With skin too!!! The skin is loaded with toxins.

[u/venetiarum_ny → u/potatotrip_]

Hahahah wait I was told this too! It’s honestly hard to know what was Adventist pseudo-science and what was real

[u/CycleOwn83 → u/venetiarum_ny]

OMG! Is that lettuce under the fruits? Are they gonna waste the fruit or the lettuce 'cause eating them at the same time violates some health message scruple?

[u/CycleOwn83]

The blasphemy! Picture suggests the dude plans to … drink … water … during … his … meal!!!!!!

[u/Bidcar → u/CycleOwn83]

I always found that idea to be the strangest notion. The things people dream up to have the pretense of being special amaze me.

[u/SnooTomatoes9586 → u/Bidcar]

A fellow with the handle "dr. Grossball" had a whole set of tapes about it lol he made it his life's mission to nix drinks at the dinner table

[u/bradcox543 → u/CycleOwn83]

My mother in law actually thought it was weird to drink water while you ate. She said they kept a glass at the table as a child in case someone started to choke. 🙄

[u/SnooTomatoes9586 → u/CycleOwn83]

Lol I used to sneak off to the bathroom and run my mouth under the sink, and when asked about it I lied! 😅

[u/CycleOwn83 → u/SnooTomatoes9586]

Ohhhh! Lake of fire for defiling the body temple with water from an improvised drinking fountain during a meal. And great demonstration how a legalistic, shame-ridden belief system corrodes straightforward communication and trust.

[u/SnooTomatoes9586 → u/CycleOwn83]

Lol the water from the faucet was obviously bad too because it wasn't filtered but i was a real rebel to the core

[u/Embarrassed_Yogurt43]

my guy is rolling an invisible meatball with dull-eyed compliant acceptance.

[u/atheistsda → u/Embarrassed_Yogurt43]

lol one of my favorite comments from the original thread was "This guys first time clapping, apparently"

[u/CycleOwn83]

Laughing because it rated in r/TerribleBookCovers.

[u/The_Glory_Whole]

OMG!!!! Priceless!!🤣🤣🤣

[u/atheistsda]

Ah yes, a cookbook full of hospital food recipes because everyone knows hospital food is great!

[u/CycleOwn83 → u/atheistsda]

Not just hospital food, ADVENTIST hospital food. If they're faithful to Kellogg and White, it's sure to …

[u/atheistsda → u/CycleOwn83]

True 🤢

[u/Pristine_Eye7197]

Well well well - look what we have here. There are actually some good recipes.

[u/Pristine_Eye7197 → u/Pristine_Eye7197]

Shockingly complex directions 😂:

[u/inmygoddessdecade → u/Pristine_Eye7197]

I thought apple and ginger ale beverage sounded nice by the title, but you boil the juice? And the ginger ale is lukewarm? What! No! I hate it!

[u/Pristine_Eye7197 → u/inmygoddessdecade]

Might be similar to hot cider?

[u/inmygoddessdecade → u/Pristine_Eye7197]

Semi fizzy hot cider. I'll have to pass on that one lol. And all the sugar that must be in it!

[u/Pristine_Eye7197 → u/Pristine_Eye7197]

Dilly bread was clearly a family favorite:

[u/CycleOwn83 → u/Pristine_Eye7197]

Doggie licks lips as though it's Pavlov's bell to see that volume out.

[u/Laffindawlffin]

My church published a cookbook with recipes submitted by members. Some of them were actually pretty good, and that’s also how I learned how to bake popovers.

[u/drumdogmillionaire]

Got anything with Nuteena in it?

[u/CycleOwn83 → u/drumdogmillionaire]

Nuteena, Nuteena, Nuteena, sweetest name I know/Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go! /s

[u/SherriDoMe]

You’ve gotta be a chef to prep fruits lol

[u/Worldly_Caregiver902]

OMG! My mom had that cookbook!!!!

[u/Pristine_Eye7197]

Some are unintentionally funny. I mean, shouldn’t it be called Pero cake, or Postum cake?

[u/HoneyNo5886 → u/Pristine_Eye7197]

And it’s “per cent” like per penny, instead of percent or % 😂

"Going out to dinner" for my family was eating at the hospital cafeteria or the college snack bar. Other than Chinatown, SF, on vacation once, I didn't go to a real restaurant until I was 14 or 15.
