Spider Salad???

Welcome to Arizona!! Home to such lovely things as Mohave Green Rattlers, Tarantulas, and Vinegaroons. All to be found right in our backyard.
Here is a Vinegaroon. They are fast and jump. They bite and if you are unfortunate enough to be bitten you will be tasting vinegar for 3 weeks! Everything you put in your mouth will taste of vinegar.
Which of course gave me an idea to make a vinegar salad out of my new cookbook- 1959 Edition of the General Foods Cookbook!!! Thanks Amber.

Start with potatoes. Wash and cook till tender. Peel and slice 1/4 inch thick.
