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.
