Clarabelle's Cherry Icebox Cake
From Epic Mickey
Tumblr media
The History
In 2006 Disney studios finally regained the rights back for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. In addition to releasing the surviving shorts on DVD, Disney decided to debut the character in a video game called Epic Mickey.
In the game, disregarded concepts and older, less popular toons, are given new life as characters within the game.
Appropriately Clarabelle Cow is one of those characters. While not completely forgotten, Clarabelle never achieved the same level of fame as the sensational six. She also made her first apprence in the Oswald shorts as 'Bessie Bovine.'
In the game there are a few ice cream fetch quests where Mickey must find discarded ice cream and give them to particular characters in order to give them a happy ending. Clarabelle's ice cream cake subplot is considered one of the more memorable quests in the game. In it Clarabelle makes a frozen cake for Horace Horsecollar, using ice cream.
The Food
Tumblr media
In the 1930s as iceboxes became replaced with freon refrigeration systems, commercial food producers tried to capitalize upon the new storage system with freezer recipes. Nabisco Cookies was one of those companies, and they released a recipe for an 'icebox cake' where you froze the cake instead of baking it.
Taking that orginal recipe of waffers and whipped cream, I've modified it into a cherry based version, considering how Clarabelle's cake is pink and has cherries on top.
Tumblr media
Ingredients
12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup cherry preserves
50 thin vanilla wafers
2 cups stemmed, pitted and halved sweet cherries, plus optional stem-on cherries for decorating
Cookware
9 inch pan
Parchment paper
Directions
Line a 9 inch pan with parchment paper. (Optionally you can grease the sides of the pan with non-stick cooking spray)
Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. If using an electric whisk, beat for about 3 mins on medium.
Add to the cheese, heavy whipping cream, and cherry preserves.
Slowly mix untill everything is evenly combined and then pick up the pace. Beat at high speed untill mixture starts to form stiff peaks. If using an electric whisk this will take about 1 to 2 mins.
Spread a small layer of the cream mixture into the pan.
Lay cookies on top of that layer, and then add a layer of cherries.
Now add more cream and repeat the process of adding the cookies and cherries.
Keep repeating till done. You should get a good three to four layers.
Crumble remaining cookies on top and add whole cherries for garnish.
Cover the top of the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, and up to overnight.
Pull out of the icebox and cut when ready to serve.
Tumblr media
Pro tip, you can run the knife under hot water first to get it warm, and that will cut through the cake easier.
We got one more recipe to go before we close out the Early Era for good, so join us next time when we talk about the sequel games and milkshakes.

Horace Horsecollar's Sody Crackers
From Mickey's Revue
Tumblr media
The History
Horace Horsecollar first appeared on screen in 1928 in the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shorts. After that he quickly transitioned into the sound era to become a core member of Mickey Mouse's gang. Especially in the comics where he's often depicted as Mickey's sidekick.
However, soon after his debut, Goofy would go on to upsurp Horace's popularity. Even stealing both his place as Mickey's right-hand man and his fiance Clarabelle Cow.
Tumblr media
Since then poor Horace has forever been regulated as a third wheel, never fully matching the same level of fame as the rest of the Sensational Six. He's not been completely forgotten however. He'll still pop up from time to time in newer Mickey Mouse fare, but he'll never match his hayday before 1932.
The Food
In Mickey's Revue, Horace is the stage hand handling all of the effects for Mickey's show. In one scene he chews up a bunch of crackers and then spitts them out to create fake snow.
Soda crackers as they were a common commodity during the great depression. Crackerbarrels in general stores and gas stations used to offer the food for free. Guests could come in and scoop up however much they wanted of the salty treat into paper bags. Given thier long shelf life, cheap availability, and multipue uses, crackers became a staple of Great Depression cooking.
Below is a recipe for old fasioned soda crackers that you can make yourself at home.
Tumblr media
Ingredients
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling dough
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup whole milk
Coarse kosher or sea salt
Cookware
Two baking sheets
Parchment paper
Rolling pin
Mixing bowl
Directions
Preheat oven to 375° F and line two baking sheets with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold butter, working it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until it resembles coarse meal.
Slowly add the milk and gently mix the dough, then knead it, until it just comes together and is tacky but not sticky. (If necessary, add more flour.) Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Divide in half, and return one half to the refrigerator. Roll out the other half 1/8 inch thick, sprinkling with more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Use a pizza cutter to cut it into 2-inch squares.
Transfer the squares to the baking sheets, leaving an inch of space between squares; then sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and prick them all over with a fork.
Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes, depending on size.
Repeat with the second half of the dough.
Tumblr media
I'll always have a special place in my heart for Horace Horsecollar, and here's hoping that Disney will do more with him in future.
As for the crackers, they will go well with our next recipe. So tune next time when discuss Donald Duck's first cartoon.

jamil, who loves showing affection by cooking food for his loved ones, making sure the curry is seasoned to perfection and your favourite dessert to go along with the meal.
and you, with zero spice tolerance but so incredibly overwhelmed with gratitude and affection for how hard jamil's worked. and with your favourite dessert right there enticing you, you're determined to finish every drop of curry on your plate.
...
it doesn't go too well.
indeed, you have finished every drop of curry. but you've also downed around 12 cups of water, and the burning in your mouth is still unrelenting. jamil visibly looks concerned with how much water you're drinking and it's unavoidable you address your non-existent spice tolerance.
jamil sighs, and his eyes show a hint of exasperation you often see when he's following kailm's whims. you avert your gaze to the floor, upset at yourself that you've disappointed him and maybe he hates you now how could you not like his fo-
flick!
ouch! your hands reach up to shield your forehead, and your eyes meet his. not exasperated, maybe slightly, but amused and... loving??
"dummy, don't go forcing yourself to eat what you don't like," he sighs
you timidly explain you could never do that with how much time and effort he puts into his cooking
his smile widens slightly.
"for now, i guess i'll be making more desserts for you then,"
he chuckles at the way your eyes light up.
"here," he feeds you a spoonful of the chilled dessert. "is your mouth still burning?"
oh. you don't think it is anymore.
but your heart sure is.

vil schoenheit but whenever you guys are watching a movie he’s part of and there’s a kissing scene with his costar, he takes it as his chance to nonchalantly steal a kiss from you as your both seated on the couch, turning your attention to him instead of the screen as the romantic scene plays in the background. and not because he’s self-conscious that you’ll feel jealous over the other actor/actress he’s with on camera, no, no… he’s made sure to reassure you each day you’re together and has enough trust to make such worries impossible in your mind with the way he is with you…
the real reason is because while filming that specific scene with his costar, his mind was only filled with thoughts of you and how it would feel to share this romantic scene with you instead. so he takes it as his chance to make his thoughts a reality. he’s smooth with the way he pulls you in—a small smirk to his lips before he presses it against yours. it’s more perfect than vil had ever imagined, if he were to be honest, and it leaves you in a flushed mess the first time he does it, too.
and don’t think this’ll be the only time he does it. if you let him, of course, he’d be more than glad to do it again… <3

Desi!yuu and Jamil (part 1)
Jamil: This dish is something that you made! Yuu: No, it made it self!...Of course I made it you fool! Jamil: But...I thought.... Yuu: That what? Kalim wouldn't go crazy for anyone else's food because he has yours. Jamil: ( with a scowl) yes No, I just need the recipe and I'll be on my way becau- Yuu: ( slamming the door on his face) No.
The context here is that Kalim falls in love with Yuu's dum aloo ( a desi dish that's vegetarian (made of potatoes )) and refuses to eat any of Jamils remakes ( it's nice but it is not the same!). Jamil comes to find out he tried this mystery dish from Yuu's lunch box, which leads us to the present conversation.

Tarzan and Jane Plate by Home Presence Been trying to get one of these for a while, but they rarely pop up, and when they do it always seems to be on a site I can't buy from. And what makes it even better is that the company name on the back is stamped as Home Presence of Montreal, Canada... but I've only ever seen them being owned or sold by people in France! Gotta love when you have to go so far to get something that originally sold so close 😂 Such a beautiful plate. And if you look closely, you can see Terk and Tantor spying on them from the trees.

HAUNTED HOUSE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST????
DO TELL!!!!!
It's a fic for Jean Cocteau's 1946 Beauty and the Beast, Dusty Hands from Graves Forgotten! The movie itself leans into gothic horror, and I was particularly struck by the way there are hands and faces in the walls and objects speak to Beauty, as well as the generational trauma aspect of haunted houses-- the only explanation for the curse is that the Beast's parents didn't believe in magic spirits, so they turned him into a beast as revenge, and then of course the father's act of taking a rose then dooms his daughter to be part of the curse as well.
I watched that, Crimson Peak, The Haunting of Hill House, and The Haunting of Bly Manor all about the same time in October when I started writing it, and it's heavily influenced by them (the Hauntings especially). So as Beauty comes to this castle, she fears the Beast and takes comfort in the house, but soon discovers that it's the house that she should fear, and the Beast is who to cling to. There's a whole backstory of how the curse came to be and why the house is haunted, involving a changeling child, the Wild Hunt, and a tiny bit of Tam Lin flavor (though not really the story itself.)
It was a lot of fun to write, I've never written horror before, although I did try to keep it solidly within the gothic romance side of things. I'm really proud of it!

👬who's your best friend?
👺who's your worst enemy?
🥣what's your favorite food?
For both Paige and Aurinelle!
You're a quick one‼️
Paige:
👬- "My best friend? Cater, hands down, no questions asked. I feel safe around him, and he feels safe around me. He's done everything he can to support me and my music 'career', if you could even call it that. And I've done everything I can to get him to be himself, rather than his 'perfect persona'. We have strong mutual trust, unbreakable even. He's basically my brother, what else is there to explain?"
👺- "The little shit that keeps trying to drag me down when I attempt swimming. I swear there's some water spirit that has a grudge against me for some reason and is constantly trying to drown me. I'll get back at it someday..."
🥣- "Root beer lollipops, but Vil keeps saying that they don't count since they're sweets, not actual food that I'd need to survive; so I guess my favorite food would be pastitsio. Nobody makes it like my dad does; seriously, he's as good a cook as he is a composer."
Aurinelle:
👬- "A best friend? I'm afraid I don't have one... at least, none that I know of."
👺- "Sailors, pirates, whatever you wish to call them. I despise them and their lack of respect for marine life, the way they litter the ocean with their despicable nets and boat waste and plastic wrappers- *inhale* hah... I apologize, I seem to have lost my temper. Do not misundertand, I know not all sailors are the same, but my negative views on their deeds persist."
🥣- Human flesh. "I'd say anything with octopus and/or any type of mollusks in it. But if I had to be specific, I'd say my favorite dish would be crispy marinated baby octopus. I like the crunch followed by the chewy part of the octopus, it's truly delectable. A shame Azul refuses to serve it at Mostro Lounge; I think it'd be a hit with the students."
Tagging: @thehollowwriter @elenauaurs @cyanide-latte @distant-velleity @xen-blank

In which Food does the Talking
Part 1 (ft. Riddle and Silver) I Part 2 (ft. Trey and Kalim) I Part 3 (ft. Jade and Lilia) I Part 4 (ft. Deuce and Jamil) I Part 5 (ft. Malleus and Ruggie)
In which Gordon Ramsay-kun is isekai’d into Twisted Wonderland. Part Food Wars, part Hell’s Kitchen, all Master Chef—Night Raven College isn’t ready to take on this Michelin Star celebrity!!
Potatoes: a most versatile vegetable.  And the chefs handling them? Very versatile themselves. Two smiling pretenders grace the stage called the kitchen–and the one overseeing them is tasked with peeling through them and getting to their very cores.
Imagine this…
Tumblr media
Clink, clink.
Two platters were set down in front of Gordon Ramsay.
“Today, Caycay made a potato galette!”
Thin slices of potato were laid out in circles, the forming ringed layers of the galette. The skins had been left on for additional texture, and they had crisped up nicely in the skillet, turning golden where the butter had been brushed.
Cater had prettied the potatoes up with a sprinkle of bright green herbs. The dish was plated with a sunny side up egg--the white glistening, and the yolk still wobbling--and a simple salad of lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Two small paper cups were wedged on the rim of the plate, one holding a crimson sauce and one bright yellow and threaded with spices.
... Cater had also taken the liberty of drawing a man in ketchup on top of the galette. The man looked somewhat cross due to the lines on his face, but he was smiling and surrounded by a number of stars.
Is this meant to be me? Gordon wondered, raising an eyebrow at it.
“As for myself, I have prepared a sweet potato pie for your enjoyment.”
The other dish came set in a pie crust. He hadn’t been expecting anything too ornate out of it, but somehow Rook had managed to beautifully braid the dough and dust it with sugar. Sweet granules were visible even at a distance, adding a crystalline quality to the tart--like treasure waiting to be unearthed.
The filling was a rich orange, a careful combination of pureed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg... and, of course, just a pinch of salt. It had come out of the oven looking wonderfully creamy and smooth, and was topped off with more slices of sweet potato--these, candied in brown sugar.
... Rook’s smile was a little off-putting. Perhaps he was simply confident in his culinary creation? Or had he snuck something sinister into the pie? (Gordon was more inclined to the latter, given his experiences with previous students in Master Chef.)
“Looks like you two really know your stuff.”
At least when it comes to presentation. But what about the taste?
Gordon sunk his fork into Cater’s galette, then brought it to his mouth. After a few chews, he did the same with Rook’s tart.
“It’s... hmm.” Gordon’s eyebrows drew together as he set his fork down and folded his arms.
He waited for the shock to set in--the pang of something that shouldn’t be there, conditioned from class after class of strange concoctions. A bitter bite, a twinge of sharply sour.
Nothing.
For a few agonizingly long seconds, he didn’t speak a single word.
It was Cater that broke the ice, eagerly leaning over the table and peering into his teacher’s face. “Ne, ne~ So how was the grub, Gordie? It was mega ‘cammable, right? I spent sooo long arranging it!”
Gordon sighed gruffly. “You’ve still got Instagram on your mind?”
Cater looked as though his teacher had sprouted an extra head. “Uh, Twisted Wonderland to Gordie! What’s Instagram?”
“It’s... You know what, never mind that.” Gordon gestured to the galette. “Your dish. It looks lovely and all, but presentation’s not the only thing you’ve got to worry about. The flavors just aren’t there.”
“No way! But it looks totally...”
“We’re not cooking for your Insta... Magicam followers. We’re cooking so that you--” Gordon poked Cater in the chest, “--and the people you’re serving can eat. Medicore tasting food that looks good won’t do it.”
“How merciless you are in matters of the culinary arts, Trickster.” Rook spoke easily, having been observing Gordon’s judgment intently up until that point. “We present our hearts on these platters, and you, with your cutthroat critique, run a blade through us.” 
Gordon pushed his plate away as he turned to the huntsman. “Enough with the pretentiousness. Your dish isn’t any more of an improvement. It’s dreadfully overbearing, and you can still taste it after you’ve swallowed.”
“Whoa, seriously? It sounds like death by sugar rush...” Cater grimaced slightly. “That’s way too much of a good thing, Rook-kun!”
The young chef was unfazed, throwing his head back and laughing from his belly up. “Ah, but proper nutrition is important for performance, non? Complex carbohydrates from the sweet potatoes and simple sugars from the added sweeteners... They will ensure that one has enough energy both in the long and in the short term.
“Unfortunately, it cannot keep for long outside of a fridge. An optimal dish would be one that does not contain dairy or eggs, as they would quickly spoil at room temperature or warmer.”
“Eeeh? No fair pulling out your Science Club smarts on us!”
“Fufu. Not to worry, Monsieur Magicam. Certainly there are ways to enhance one’s dining experience with your own club expertise! Why not consider dinner theater?”
“Like when you watch a show while you eat?”
“Oui! I can see it now: the Pop Music Club gracing the stage, instruments in hand!! The crowd roaring, caught in the throws of passion…! Roi d’Or on the drums, yourself on guitar, and, of course, Monsieur Curiosity on bass, his enchanting vocals ringing out into the inky nigh—t”
“H-Hey, hold up a sec! Let’s not bring Lilia-chan back anywhere near the dining area or the kitchen!”
“... Right, I think I understand where you two are coming from now,” Gordon groaned, a hand to his forehead. “You’re bringing yourselves to the table, and that’s coming through in what you cook.”
Cater, who prioritizes the aesthetic of a dish, and Rook, who considers the function the food will serve... But that’s not all, is it?
The galette: all style and little substance. The pie: too much of one thing. Reflections of their creators, leaning into their strengths to distract from what the flavors were truly masking: their true selves.
Gordon grasped each plate.
“Potatoes,” he began, “are a versatile vegetable. They can be prepared in so many different ways. They can become almost anything we can dream of. A chef’s soul comes out through them.
“Food is a universal language. It’s how chefs communicate.”
With that, the plates were swapped.
The pie in front of Cater, the galette in front of Rook.
“Huh? What’s up with this...?”
Cater’s question was answered with a fork, one offered to each of them.
“I want you to taste the other’s dish,” Gordon stated seriously. “I want you to communicate. If you stick only with what’s familiar, you’ll never grow--and you’ll never understand the ones at the receiving end of that plate.”
“D’ccord.” Rook nodded, effortlessly plucking up the eating utensil held out to him. He passed Cater a friendly smile. “I look forward to sampling the fruits of your labor, Monsieur Magicam!”
“I hope it’s to your tastes! Cay-kun worked super hard on it!” Cater returned the grin and accepted his own fork, but dread roiled deep inside of him. 
He could already smell the intoxicating sweetness of the potato pie wafting up to him. His tongue shriveled and died at the thought of having to try it.
Get it over with quickly.
Cater pierced the pie, taking off a chunk that was more crust than filling. He tucked the piece into his mouth, and sugar and spices exploded across his taste buds. The flavors were intense and bombastic, overwhelming the crust.
Yup, definitely too much, Cater thought, breaking off more crust—and tapping off the excess sugar granules. By itself, the flaky crust melted effortlessly. It was darker, smokier than the rest of the dessert, the aroma of browned butter lingering on his tongue.
An alteration in the recipe.
Beside Cater, the Rook muttered to himself as he chewed, slowly parsing through eager ingredient as they greeted him. “Hmm… Potato, butter, herbs…”
The various sauces, the egg, and the salad were but accessories. None could truly fill the void. Short of a seasoning? Not crispy enough? Or too crispy? It was difficult to pinpoint where in the recipe Cater had faltered, but falter he had.
The galette was fare, in spite of the plate’s alluring appearance. The extra “oomph” in it, the heart, cut out.
Missing.
The two students’ gazes met. Their eyes, different shades.
Cater’s were brighter, the green of leaves with sunlight filtering through them. Rook’s were deeper, the color that the trees turned in the night.
Green and green, masking the truth with gilded lies.
And there, in that moment of tasting, they came to a silent understanding.
He has secrets of his own too.
Gordon glanced between them, catching the glint shared in their eyes. His hands came together, and a thunderous clap resounded in the room.
“Back to the kitchen then—and this time, speak up!! Put your best face forward on those plates!!”

Black Bottom Pie
From The Old Mill in An Academy Award Review of Walt Disney Cartoons
Tumblr media
History
The Old Mill is a pretty important short to the history of animation. It was the first cartoon to use the multiplane camera, which helped to give perspective to shots.
Tumblr media
It was a camera with multiple levels to place foreground and background stuff, so you could zoom into shots while keeping those background and foreground layers separate.
Food
Now the only food featured in the short is the bugs and worms that the various creatures eat. While these things are technically edible for humans, I'm not going that route sorry.
So my next thought was candy, like gummi worms, instead, and what better way to eat gummi worms but in a dirt cake?
Only dirt cake and gummy worms didn't come out until the 1980s. You had gummi bears, but not worms yet. Also instant pudding still wasn't a thing in the 1930s.
So in my research I discovered that Mississippi Mud Pies were a precursor to Dirt Cakes. However this was for 50s and 60s when pudding packets hit the shelves. It is the Black Bottom Pie that predates the Mud Pie.
So here is a Great Depression Black Bottom Pie, and if you want to forgo the historical and throw some gummi worms on top, I won't blame you.
Tumblr media
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 large egg yokes
4 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups milk
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large egg whites
3/4 tablespoons sugar
2 prepared pie crusts, baked (either homemade OR store-bought)
Cookware
Whisk
Mixing bowl
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Beat egg yolks in a separate bowl.
Sift dry ingredients together into a saucepan.
Add the butter and the milk.
Mix
Mix in the beaten egg yolks.
Cook on medium heat until mixture thickens, stirring regularly.
When mixture reaches "pudding" consistency, pour into baked pie shells.
Beat the egg whites with 3/4 tablespoon sugar until stiff peaks form.
Spread over cooling pie filling.
Bake for 10 minutes OR until merigue peaks turn golden
Cool and serve.
Tumblr media
We're almost done with the classic era, and An Academy Review of Walt Disney Cartoons. Only one more short to go.

Curtain is so fascinating to me because he's totally the type of person to respond to "I have depression" with "hm. have you tried not being sad?" BUT not because he's never experienced mental health struggles, it's because he DOES and he fully believes this is a legitimate coping mechanism that really works because he defeats his own mental health issues with the power of his mind every day! I want to study him under a microscope.
