The real crime is not posting the recipe!
For real though it looks awful and I kind of want to try it.
It doesn’t look that bad. But that’s coming from someone who loves head cheese (I picture this tomato refresher has a similar texture).
Sounds like it would go great with a vodka martini
It’s over halfway to a jellied bloody mary
First ingredient on the list: gelatin. Of course.
And this ingredient list is also suspiciously close to a bloody Mary’s.
I thought jellied tomato might not be too bad, like a chilled tomato gazpacho, even some of the other stuff might make it like a virgin bloody mary…but the beef flavoring? Nope, that killed it for me.
Tomato naturally is high in MSG. It naturally has a meaty/umami flavor. Don’t judge before you try it. It should work I think, as a flavor profile.
I’m thinking cold roast beef and tomato slice. Not necessarily a bad combo, like a sandwich, but the gel prospect is what’s off putting. Be the texture of cold beef fat. It’s not for me.
Yeah, that’s fair. I’m someone who will try anything once. The texture of this seems bad, but I can’t write it off. The flavors sound pretty good together, so I think it could work. I’d guess it’s better without the gelatin though. It seems to just be there to be filling so you can lose weight.
I think if you left that out it could be pretty good! Call it a Jiggly Mary. In fact, let’s pour a shot of vodka over each serving, unless the person requested Virgin or is a child.
Yep. That could be done.
Wait until you find out about clamato juice. That stuff makes a great bloody Mary, and honestly I think this recipe could be a good play on that.
*caesar.
This is on the midwest.social instance. I’m just in Rome, trying to do as the Romans!
You can easily substitute that with a veggie broth cube. But that does not change the fact that this is a food crime from the start.
It looks awful, but I’m willing to bet if you like tomato (which who doesn’t?) it’s actually pretty good. It sounds like a pretty good flavor profile from the ingredients. If it were a cocktail people would be fine with it, but since there’s no alcohol they think it’s weird.
Huh I might actually like this one x.x
Yeah let us know how that goes
Oh, the 1970s.
The pepper rings really are the pepper on the top
70s “”“cuisine”“”": lets gelatinize everything and have you tried this cool new exotic thing called “putting the food equivalent of 6 warcrimes, in a cocktail glass??”
back from the days that tomatoes were fruit
Mid-20th-century food was colorful, and horrible.
Did this come from recipes for 1950s housewives on amphetamines cookbook?
I have a lot of weird old cookbooks but this recipe us next level filth.
So many questions. Why? Who wanted this? Did anyone ever make and serve this? Refresher? Does it refresh your memory that some food should not ever be made?
I’m so in the weeds on the tomato refresher!
I’m probably going to need a spoon or something. As soon as I try to drink that it will spill out and ruin my new white leisure suit.
It’s the 70s. You snort that shit.
That’s what the spoon is for!
