Looking at the elegant illustration (r.) helps us forget that Clamato™'s forerunner (l.) has taken up residence less than halfway through the narrative.

My Photoshop skills are pretty limited, but I went ahead and ran these bigger than they were in the booklet. Just because I love 'em so much. (Clicking on the image itself and then the largest "View All Sizes" option will give you a little more detail.)

The writers were nothing if not modest about their own humble condiment. Which is weird given that it could have gone right up front alphabetically.

"The experienced host or hostess keeps the pantry well stocked with a variety of tinned and glassed foods which, at a moment's notice, may be fashioned into simple, yet delicious, appetizers for the cocktail hour... Rare and more costly products of foreign countries may be purchased and added to your larder for use when a special occasion justifies a more elaborate and unusual diversity..."

I have a nagging suspicion that nearly everyone during this time was dreaming about caviar and Pate' de Foie Gras rather than serving it.

GIN! And gin with some other stuff mixed into the bottle with it!

"That delightful custom of serving appetizers with the cocktail-- canapes of spicy allurement and hors d'oeuvres in tempting ensembles of the world's finest delicacies-- will add piquancy to the pre-dinner cocktail and a delicious attribute to the buffet supper..."

The toast-your-own-canapes-at-the-table arrangement is adorable.

I had no idea before picking up this booklet that so many different kinds of cocktail shaker existed in the world. It's kind of inspiring.

I wonder which shoulder yielded the "good shoulder meat." And if this was where the "good" side ended up, what happened to the "bad"?

Smart Savories from A Century of Progress (4), 1934

The "Frosted Salad Loaf" is kind of neat from an architectural standpoint, but not surprising that it fell out of favor a long time ago. On a page I didn't include, there's something called "Mayonnaise Crisps," made of nothing but egg white and mayonnaise baked together on a cracker.

Yikes.

Not to hurt Mrs. Vamp's feelings, but seriously. How drunk would you need to be to think steak sauce dumped on cream cheese "looks like a chocolate sundae"?

Gah.

"Three meals a day!
We must eat to live,
But what a thrill
New dishes give."

It's hard to beat the panache of the B.Y.O. Waffle Iron soiree', but the Uneeda Bakers do their best. From "Champion Peanut Butter Chops" (American cheese, cracker crumbs, and of course peanut butter sculpted to look like meat) to "Pears Olga" (canned pears with some cream, sugar, and shortbread crumbs dumped on top) there's nothing like that Thirties glamour!

Sorry I couldn't give you the whole treatise on appetizers, dinners, and Thanksgiving. Maybe next booklet.

"As well as cocktail savouries, sandwiches are ideal party food. Tiny unusually shaped sandwiches will be very popular... Try open sandwiches for a change-- they look gay and attractive and can either be small enough for a cocktail party or large and sufficiently substantial for a main meal."
