"IMO, the already cramped design of this "galley" kitchen is further diminished by the overpowering wallpaper choice. Honestly, it's tough to discern where the boundaries of the back wall shelf unit begin and end."

Back in 1964, an era when "international cuisine" was effectively anything you could reconstitute from a cardboard box in under twenty minutes. This "Lenten Seafood Risotto" is a spectacular example of mid-century penance; nothing says "spiritual reflection" quite like stuffing a wooden fish with canned tuna and garnishing it with hard-boiled eggs.

The copy promises a "toothsome" and "savoury" treat, though modern palates might find the combination of warm lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and "Spanish" rice mix to be a culinary fever dream. One has to admire the commitment to the theme, the rice is served in a fish, to remind you that you're eating fish, while surrounded by ferns, perhaps to distract you from the fact that you're eating dinner out of a decorative bowl that probably smells like furniture polish. It’s the ultimate "I forgot it was Friday during Lent" panic meal, elevated to high art through the magic of 17-minute simmering and a very optimistic food stylist.
