I Like Tater Tots

Potato pie is very similar to Pumpkin pie. Potato pie is very popular in the South made with sweet potatos or yams.

Carver was promoting sweet potatoes, and from "a lump of butter the size of a hen's egg", I'd say dairy cattle, too.

Reminds me of the 7-Up cookbook that was linked to here a couple of years back. In fact there was a whole series of links to recipes of yesteryear. As I remember I almost got locked in the building because I couldn't stop reading them and laughing.

Have tried searching, can't find the link.
I'll repost if I do.

ETA - found the Weight Watchers ones (link by Mr Noodle, much missed)
AH! Turns out there is a link to The Gallery of Regrettable Food from the above website.
Please go look. Not only the 7-Up cookbook, but Meat! Meat! Meat! had me weeping. And probably more which I'm off to rediscover.

On 7-Up...

At least it’s pure; we all remember Upton Sinclair’s muckraking expose of the horrible conditions of the bottling industry, and how the government mandated strict standards to ensure that the amount of dessicated beetle shell or pigeon bile was kept to less than 1 part per trillion. “Wholesome” seems an odd word, since it has moral connotations – but so does “pure” and “good,” come to think of it. IS this soda pop or the fluid that weeps from a statue of a saint? They make it sound like something Doris Day would use as a douche.
