last minute thanksgiving dessert idea
Wikipedia article for something from the 20s-60s called "Candle Salad", a fruit salad consisting of two pieces of lettuce, a cored slice of pineapple, a banana propped the pineapple topped with one cherry from which whipped cream is dipping. I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you this looks very phallic

An owl instructing cats in the art of mouse-catching
(Lombard School c1700)
Oil painting of an owl standing on what looks like sheet music but it's just pictures of mice, a bunch of cats looking on with various expressions. A few play instruments and there's also a weird little guy with bat wings and trumpets coming out of his butt.
