I was sorely tempted to make up a recipe for meatloaf with snails here, just for the fun of it—but instead I’ll just offer three dishes I thought were pretty darned “gourmet” back in the mid-1960s. Along with a simple green salad, they add up to a hearty, deliciously reactionary dinner— reactionary even to the point of requiring the energy-squandering use of two ovens simultaneously.
