Anyway, there's lots more to The Great American Shank Off so I'll be back later on with even more excitement! :D

If you feel that the first image is looking right at us reproachfully, you're not wrong. The instructions do refer to it as an "eye joint."

That last section looks like Jar Jar Binks in profile, if you squint.

Kids, today's secret word is "Deckle." When you see it flash on the screen, yell it loud. DECKLE!!

To the "friends I haven't met yet" at The Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, this here is a light breakfast for a single resident.

(For real, if you haven't checked out their YouTube channel, I totally recommend it.)

If you have some string and good quality sealer on hand, that stray piece of fat at the bottom of Picture One can be fashioned into a very unusual fountain pen.

I'm not much for prime rib, to be honest. I'd rather have a nice bowl of chili. :D

Most of the arty drawings of hardworking meat men were too faint to be scanned well, but at least we have this guy.

My favorite NYC performance artists used to use these as portable marimbas, back in the 1980s. :P

"Quality Beef s bright red in color and the flesh is firm, fine grained and well marbled."

It's an awkward first date when the ruler's are already out before the dinner's even cooked. 0_o

Kudos to the artist for debunking the myth that your tiny mob of fat chefs also has to be jolly.

"Braising: In Key With Hearty Appetites" is skipped. But if anyone reading this is frantic to fix "Liver and Onions-- New Style," you can message me. No problem.

Also not shown: history's most poorly-formatted and indifferently-drawn vitamin chart. No wonder the chefs got so irritable.

You've gotta' have all that meaty goodness front and center to justify such an extravagant purchase. ;)

"How To Prepare Foods For Freezing (2)," 1958/9

Here's the inside front cover. Aside from these lavish all-American meal displays, there's not much happening in the 36 or 44 pages (depending on which year's volume you're perusing). At one point a Coldspot penguin gives various food prep instructions, and a demure blonde hausfrau looks likes she's asking one of the freezer models out onto an off-site dance floor. But they lacked the weirdly-hued bravado of these photos.

Great. More bug-eyed staring inanimate objects, plus the phrase "Push out contents." I think I'm giving up forever on food. :/

All or most of these food photos are likely the work of Albert Gommi. I have a dollar paperback called A Picture Treasury Of Good Cooking which features many of the same pictures. They've popped up in mid-century promos from many other companies, too.
