Nothing whets the appetite like fish balls

If fish balls aren’t your thing try fluffy mackerel pudding or cabbage casserole czarina. Just three of the many dishes featured on Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974. I lost my appetite just looking at these cards, and pretty soon the pounds will be coming off like the blood-and-milk looking sauce comes off the roast chicken.

Back when Weight Watchers was featuring these recipes, the Grammy record of the year was “I Honestly Love You” by Olivia Newton John, which pretty much sums up all you need to know about 1974. Also, it was the year Mama Cass tragically left us. If only she’d swallowed the liquid Weight Watchers Slender Quenchers,  maybe she wouldn’t have had anything to choke on.
