"Kenmore Automatic Skillet (2)", 1955

Back then, they deliberately made fish in its normal form look as frightening as possible, so people would freak out and just buy the sticks.

I wonder why animal proteins don't have to share their chapter page with a title. (It appears on the next page, all alone.) Also, why does only the model on the upper right side get a paper "grass" skirt to wear?

Think of how exotic this must have looked to the "family" demographic back in 1959. You've got your (admittedly crappy) NORTHWEST U.S. beer and an image of fish in its natural (as opposed to canned or frozen plywood stick) form. Plus, nobody even mentioned Lent anywhere in the ad text. Pretty edgy. From the April 1959 issue of Family Circle.

"Almost any dish, made of good ingredients and put together with even moderate ability, tastes appetizing if the seasoning is managed skillfully. This means just the right kind of seasoning, and enough but not too much."

The neo-Cubist fish is adorable. Plus, it's nice to see the dog lined up next to the kids, since you know they're going to be passing him any number of these "goodies" the second Mom's back is turned.

But I couldn't find a recipe to match the freaky ring-mold thing at the right of the full-color photograph. I feel lucky.
