Megan of I Heart Bacon and Eliz/Deepfry of YUM are hosting a virtual dinner party based on dishes from the 40s through the 70s. As part of her post Megan listed these links to photographs from cookbooks from the period:

http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards/czarina.html
http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/knudsen2/1.html

A couple of years ago one of my cooking friends found some similar links and several of us vied to see who could come up with the most ridiculous food photos.

So I suggested to Megan that as an adjunct to their virtual dinner party we hold a contest for tackiest food photo — hence Does My Blog Look Tacky in This?

If you want to participate, here’s the way it works. Take a really tacky photograph of your contribution to Megan’s and Eliz’s party and come up with a suitable caption. Send me a copy of the photo with:

Your name:
The name of the dish (may be ficticious):
A description of the dish (may be ficticious):
A link to your actual contribution to the dinner party:

You don’t need to publish the tacky photo on your blog unless you want to.

Megan, Eliz, and I will judge the entries based on:

How unappetizing the photo is
Cleverness (inappropriateness) of props
Cleverness (inappropriateness) of name and description

Entries are due by or on Aug. 13. The winner will receive a cookbook (yet to be determined) published during the period in question.
