Betty Crocker's Luau

Pages: 1 4 replies

My other collecting passion (besides Tiki and records) is thrift store cookbooks, mostly from the 50's and 60's. Sometimes these books have instructions for home luaus. This one is from Betty Crocker's New Outdoor Cookbook (copyright 1967):

The menu includes Oysters Rumaki, "Pig" Roast on the Turnspit, Teriyaki Steak, Sweet Potatoes with Coconut, Baked Bananas, Chinese Peas, Tahitian Salad, Aloha Baked Pineapple and Blossom Tea.

The "pig" is a pork shoulder with carrot slice ears and raisins(?) for eyes. And an apple of course, in its "mouth".
