Ham and Bananas Hollandaise, anyone? These 1970s recipe photos look utterly gross
The 70s Dinner Party's Twitter account shares a collection of photos from old recipe books from the decade
YOU'RE probably used to seeing pictures of clean-eating, gluten-free meals on your social media feed.
So here's a little something different - retro recipes from the 1970s.
The is dedicated to showcasing a collection of photos from old recipe books from the decade that brought us flares, mood rings and safari jackets.
From wacky combinations such as ham and banana hollandaise, fruitcake salad, pineapple seafood mousse, beef hotpot with bananas, to jellied whole trout - there's a whole load of bizarre recipes out there.
But the past has also offered some yummy delights to try out like a Shepherds Pie shaped like an igloo.
Anna Pallai started the Twitter feed @70s_party "for a laugh" after going through her mum's old recipe books.
Her bio for the hilarious account reads: "If it's ticked, my Mum's cooked it. May contain nuts and food from other decades."
Here she tweets "hideous" looking dishes online and the account has since become a guilty pleasure for more than 25,000 followers.

The collection of photos have been taken from Robert Carrier and Betty Crocker cookbooks.
Anna said her mother Chris Payne, 72, used to dish up similar creations to her as a young child.
It gives us a glimpse into the lost world of over-the-top techniques and a love of stuffing ingredients inside each other like prawn terrine in a lettuce or mince inside mashed potatoes.
Anna is now planning to turn the images into a book which will be published by Square Peg in November 2016.
She said: "I've had lots of fun making people feel ill with my Twitter feed so I'm delighted that Square Peg are going to help spread the disgust even further."
