The presence of celery salt almost makes this qualify as foreign cooking!

Front and back covers of a 32-page promotional published by Sears Roebuck & Co.

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

From the shape of that kid's nose, I gather that he has no sense of smell. Which would explain why he's so easy to cook for.

The bottle needs some kind of 2001-esque background behind it to liven it up. Some inky darkness, some constellations... don't you think?

Featuring the Tang jar that didn't accompany any astronauts during the 1970s.

Also, I had never heard of canned "rice dinner" until today. Live and learn.

I'm thankful that there's no illustration of the Chili Omelet. In my imagination, it's scary enough.

Food Is Fun (11), c1950

Those squarish white dishes suggest torn-open packages of frozen... something. And just below them is the first appearance of the bacon-banana fusion in quite some time.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess... :/

At first, I was relieved that the recipes didn't actually include 7-Up IN the food. And then I read the recipes.

"For a hot supper cut a loaf of Treet into 8 slices and fry in a little Cloverbloom Butter. Serve with your favorite hot potato salad. If you're going to have a cold supper, be sure both the Treet and the salad are well chilled before serving!"

Apparently it was 1950s law that your whole meal was confined to a single platter, which could only maintain one temperature. (Or the universe would explode or something.) So... you'd either be eating warm potato salad or cold mystery meat. This has got to be why fast food took off in such a big way during the decade.

Quality Cooking With Gas (6), 1936

There were at least forty of these bottom-of-the page illustrations in this book. (Beyond the first one here, which is basically a copy of the photo seen in image no. 2.) They were printed in silver ink, which doesn't scan really well, so I altered them in Photoshop for more contrast.

The Chili Con Carne (second from top) is tragically underseasoned, but it sure looks nice.
