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.

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.

"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

Actually the 12th printing from 1972. Spiral bound, on thickly coated heavy paper. Probably easy to wipe clean as needed during your first semester of Meat Cutter 101.

"Prepared by The National Association of Meat Purveyors... Chicago, Illinois..."

One of my first vintage finds, way back in the Nineties. I have 83 pages, but I suspect it was originally even longer and some other collage maker raided it first. :D

"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.

Or just sprinkle the dregs of a potato chip bag over everything. (Oh, wait. That was an earlier booklet. Sorry.)

"Famous Accompaniments" is the following section. Features lots of sauces with butter, cheese, and/or whipped cream with vinegar plus chopped cucumbers. Gah!

"Branburger's." It was a famed supper dish AND a classy N.Y.C. department store!!

One of the menus on the next page suggests sauerkraut juice as an aperitif. I wish I was kidding. o_0
