Salt-tastic! Briny Vegetable + Bacon = Perfect Excuse for a Double Highball (or three) (or more!) Originally posted to flickr on February 3rd, 2011.

For some reason, breakfast is at the very end of the recipe collection. Maybe the copy writer worked night shift. I don't know...

If you're feeling deja vu, it's probably because of this . From the April issue of The Ladies Home Journal .

Breakfast has a grim expression, even though the bombardier's aim looks to be distinctly off. One side of a fold-out published by the McIlhenny Company, Avery Island, Louisiana.

Yes, it's certainly lovely. And due to wartime rationing, at least fifty people will be sharing it. From the April issue of American Home magazine.

In the same envelope as the booklet, just in case you didn't get the message before. I think that's Tip O'Neill's head on the right.

...Still, somehow the banana-bacon combo got on through. To this day, nobody's sure how it happened.

By 1931, it should have been okay to start conversation at parties using gin and vermouth again. Maybe this booklet was targeted at hostesses who didn't drink. From a 24-page promo published by Fruit Dispatch Co.

Clipped from the October issue of Western Family. (I like to think that ad size = priority. Home-cooked breakfasts rule, but don't forget to feed the cat. Later, we can have some cake and cider. As for the chores? Forget 'em 'til tomorrow!)

It's like a big cloud-bedecked bacon pentagram-- er, Star, I mean... Two sections from inside the leaflet.

"Make it last, my loved ones. This is all the animal protein you're gonna' be seeing for the rest of the week!" Front and back of a six-section fold-out published by Armour & Company.

Back then, a proper housewife never arranged the breakfast meat without help from a T-Square and a level. From the February issue of Better Homes & Gardens.

"...Using Instant PET as a dry ingredient, you can easily give your family extra bone-and-muscle-building nourishment-- much more than if regular bottled milk were used..." Front and back covers (above), plus two pages (below) from a 32-page booklet published by Pet Milk Co., St. Louis, Missouri. I assume that the real reason people cooked with the powdered stuff was because it was cheaper than fresh. This idea is reinforced by the bottom left page, which implies that its target audience only has the cash for one kind of baking implement. (Maybe the sequel showed how to morph a cookie sheet into a cake pan by embedding it in tinfoil or something.)

Is that milky tea, milky coffee, or instant hot cocoa? Also, I'm intrigued by both the strange foreign meat product and the Xmas-tree-light china setting. Sponsored by the Bacon Information Council Limited. Shocking, I know.

Okay, I admit it. I'd totally eat that dip. Maybe with extra Tabasco added. P.S: BACON!!!!

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... :/

I don't think the bacon is any help here. (Yes, there really are crushed cornflakes mixed into the omelet.) But the tomato sauce does boast chili powder (a whopping half-teaspoon serves 4!), Worcestershire sauce, and MSG! Woo!

Remember, America: "The needs of the body never take a holiday." So load up on animal proteins constantly!!11 I can't remember which crumbly old cookbook yielded up this gem, but since the text mentions Health For Defense, I'm going with said cookbook having been from the Forties. Also, you've gotta' love the fancy crown-headband bacon strip around each tantalizing veal-burger.
