Meat, of course. Why would an ad from 1922 lie?

Of course, how silly of me. I wonder if it cures Catarrh like everything else in the 20’s did. I love the word catarrh it looks like it needs another vowel. Either that or it w was invented by a pirate.

On the one hand it says ‘delicious’ but then it says “1lb can sufficient for 8 portions”…
“Gee hon’ that was really great but those two ounces are REALLY filling, I couldn’t eat another mouthful, really…”

60 cents a pound? That’s over ten times the price of ground beef in 1922.
Heck, today ground beef is only 79 cents a pound (Canadian, at that) where I shop.

If the current meat replacement stuff used by vegetarians is any indication, it did not taste good at all.

Stannous: Maybe you had to add water?

Chicken and bologna, I can understand. Maybe even chili. But, really, what flavor is ‘plain’? That’s too scary to contemplate.
