This has to be one of the most questionable 1950s "recipes" I have seen. I bring you The Flaming Cabbage

From r/Old_Recipes: https://i.redd.it/8ryjeb5vnc931.jpg

An exciting, spectacular feature at a cocktail party in Mr. and Mrs. Phil Hindley’s charming home, Oakland, California.

Clean a large cabbage. Curl outer leaves back from top. Cut out center; hollow it out about 6” deep. Place stereo lamp in the cavity (lamp hidden, but flame should come almost to top of cabbage). Place cabbage on serving plate. Surround with a frill of parsley. Thrust wooden picks through cocktail sausages, and stick into the cabbage. Stick an olive onto end of each (to protect fingers from flame). Guests broil their own sausage.

bon appetit
