Cuisine Horror Show From The 1960’s

Vegetarians and vegans beware! This is NSFW!

As this blog is about everything visual we really had to post this, because it’s one of those things that are visually attracting and disgusting at the same time (an effect that simply causes standing still and staring).

Flickr user Jello Kitty has a very interesting, but also very disturbing set of pictures, mainly taken from french cookbooks from the 1960’s (link after the jump).

Most of these creations remind of monsters, bugs or scenes taken from horror movies and others simply show a lack of respect for those creatures who had to die in order to prepare the meal.

It’s also an interesting start for a discussion, because we live in a time in which most people don’t really (want to) know what they are eating and also many eat meat, but don’t want to face the facts where it’s coming from or how it’s “produced”.

But before I fall into a philosophical monolog … here are some of our “favourites”.
