I have that cookbook! Mom was not a talented cook, but the best things she made came from the Farm Journal cookbook, and I was so happy some years ago to find a hardback copy in a used book shop. The Virginia Apple Pudding was a favorite I still make. (FYI: Awesome fruit cake and turkey stuffing recipes too.)

But, yeah, it's pretty much a heart attack on a plate with the meat dishes. And I avert my eyes from the wildlife cuisine. :D

I have a Farm Journal "The Thrifty Cook" cookbook that was published in the very early 1970s when there was a meat shortage and it mentions numerous times various ways to stretch "precious proteins."
