Burning Ring of Fire



The Rawliegh’s Picture Treasury of Good Cooking bears an uncanny resemblance to Dante’s Inferno in that it too represents the nine circles of hell. Consider the following:

Circle One: LIMBO


Blueberry Pie

Circle Two: LUST


Chili Con Carne

Circle Three: GLUTTONY


Tuna Filled Cheese-Noodle Ring

Circle Four: GREED


Swedish Coffee Ring

Circle Five: WRATH


Angel Food Cake

Circle Six: HERESY


Molded Vegetable Salad

Circle Seven: VIOLENCE


Spaghetti and Meat Balls

Circle Eight: FRAUD


Cottage Cheese-Vegetable Ring

Circle Nine: TREACHERY


Creme Vichysoisse

Burn, Baby, Burn.
