Historical Food Fortnightly, Season 5

Let's do this! As always, feel free to make your foods as funny/punny/literal/contrived as you desire. All eras are welcome to participate, though the spirit of the event tends toward using recipes from the 1960s or before. In past years, we've had everything from reconstructed 2nd century Roman dishes to 20th century Jello recipes.
