The tidbits on toothpicks in the centre of the glass plate are embedded in half a red cabbage. There was no caption for this picture so I don't know what the concoction with toast triangles sticking out of it is, but a best-case scenario would be creamed mushrooms. This is the only color picture in this book (it's on the front and back covers and repeated as the centre spread). The rest of the photos are murky black & white pictures which -- if such a thing is possible -- make the food look even less appetizing.

The caption reads: "Almost anything you like can be rolled in bacon, oven or pan-broiled and served on picks."

"Baked liver patties can be a party especially served with the Spring's fresh greens."

Everything about this book makes me queasy. Not convinced? Try some recipes.
