Eat Like a 1970s Radical

The 1976 People’s Philadelphia Cookbook by The People's Fund (known today as the Bread and Roses Community Fund) included contributions from the Black Power and Gay Liberation movements. “The recipes were the least important part of the book. It was more about the people.” says historian Stephanie McKellop who came upon the cookbook at a Philadelphia flea market.

“A VERY GAY MEAT LOAF” requires several key ingredients. First, wrote Michael Goldberger, a gay activist and neuroscience researcher, combine ground beef, pork, and veal with spices. Then, add partially-cooked spinach and—if you have the money—mushrooms, taking care not to overmix. Hard-boiled eggs and sour cream top it off.
Goldberger adapted the recipe from gay New York Times food editor Craig Claiborne and lesbian icon Alice B. Toklas, and included it in the 1976 People’s Philadelphia Cookbook.
