Learn How To Make "Super Healthy" Food From Superheroes

"You get that taste by putting the banana IN the Batman..."

Let's be honest about something. The 1980s were absolutely ridiculous, though often in an adorable, goofy, sort of way. Case in point: It was recently discovered that the July, 1981 issue of Woman's Day contained a mini-magazine from DC Comics that was chock-full of superhero-inspired recipes.

The insert was called the "DC Superheros Super Healthy Cookbook". Based on the photos and recipes on display, this is actually pretty adorable. Aside from the "Mild-Mannered Hamburger", the book also includes gems like Batman and Robin investigating the mystery of the "Invisible Banana French Toast." Oh, yeah, and there's also a guide to creating an army of vegetable robots.

This sounds like an awesome geek artifact to add to the collection, but the guide itself isn't cheap. There's currently a <a href=http://cgi.ebay.com/DC-Super-Heroes-Super-Healthy-Cookbook-HC-RARE-1981-/120719239609?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8873558006793230887#ht_996wt_1141>copy on eBay selling for $12.99; Amazon also has the book, though the cheapest it's selling for is $88. Maybe we should just stick to enjoying the photos from the book online.

Since when are hamburgers with extra much ketchup healthy?

 

[Tulks]

Like everything made in the Eighties, this is awesome to the max, dude.
I'm totally making the banana french toast eggy bread later.

DC forces you to eat healthy! And if you make any cakes, Lex Luthor will just steal them from you. And that's just terrible....

That many ketchup is not healthy, no matter what companies say.

I'd like to see a Deadpool cookbook

"How to make Tacos"
-"Go to taco bell and order some"

"How to make proper cooked chicken"
-Find a chicken
-BLAM! (attempt small arms fire to not blow the chicken up entirely)
-Cook it
-Enjoy

I wonder if that cook book got the recipe to the Spectre Salad? I always wonder what ingredients are needed and the taste when it was mention in Kingdom Come.

It gets worse. The word immediately after "Batman" is "batter".

But that's as many as four tens!

OT: Those veggie robots just made me go "d'awww".

HOLY ****, I did think that any one else heard of this book. My parents bought me this book when was 6 but I haven't seen it a decade, now I need to find it!

I've actually had this book... for as long as I can remember. Try the "Meteor Eats" (peanut butter balls + honey & cocounut) they're effing delicious.
