What's up with that weird dismembered head effect on the sandwich plate? You've got the olive eyes/pickle nose thing happening in front-- then that weird sauce-tongue effect with the sandwich...

Inside of the same leaflet. Was it a sauce? A dressing? Or both? I guess it doesn't matter, because it was the kind "He'll Like Best."

I think those "flowers" are crushed eggs, which is almost as scary as the sandwich-face on the other side.

"...Where the flag of civilization went, Lea & Perrins Sauce, the Original Worcestershire, followed. Scarcely a ship left Britain without a supply among its stores. Soon the great hostelries at the ports of call featured it in their menu attractions. Branch distributing houses were established in all parts of the world, thus making it available at even the remotest points..."

Sometimes it would get to be way past closing time and the staff was simply done in. Reading this spiel aloud from the bottle wrapper was how the head waiter dealt gently with patrons who just wouldn't take a hint otherwise.

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.

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.

(L) Yeah, you could get "petals" to look like that using only diluted cream cheese and a spoon. By the way, Kraft has enclosed a coupon good for 50 cents off your next purchase of swampland in South Jersey.

(R) That clam dip might not be bad, though the seasonings are pretty intense for the time period. Probably that was a snack you only brought out in the small hours for the serious partygoers, long after the kids were safely in bed.

I really like the illustrations here, and considering this was still WWII, the quantity and color is pretty lavish. Mmmm... plateful of mystery veggie, followed by a gooseberry-currant jam sundae...? Maybe...?

Okay, I'd die before I'd bake a souffle with American cheese or consider chicken "fish sticks" curry. However, the presentation here is great. The handle-less gravy boat condiment whatsits, the mysterious fruit-Sanrio fusion faces on the soup cups? Glorious! (Only those brown "legs" on the macaroni plate look sort of dubious, and anyway they're luncheon meat. So what can you do?)

The illustrator couldn't decide whether they wanted to do a line drawing or a woodcut, so they tried to split the difference. :/
