Cooking With Crisps (2), c1950

Cooking With Crisps (2), c1950
"Banana Splits: 4 bananas, Apricot jam, crushed Smith's Potato Crisps, whipped cream for topping.

"Peel bananas. Brush with a thick coating of apricot jam. Coat with crisps. Pipe cream on each banana. Place a teaspoonful of jam in a paper forcing bag, remove tip of bag, pipe jam on cream. Serve immediately."

You can see the pie down below crying a river of sympathy tears for its fruity friends.

[bows] Just don't ask me what the "Vesuvius" recipe was.

um, did it feature a banana?
If so, I've seen it. Probably on www.awfullibrarybooks.net

:D

Mostly it was haddock and white sauce. Kind of tuna-casserole-ish but also with that Devil's Tower move at the end where you inexplicably "frost" it with mashed potatoes which you've added crushed crisps to, then sculpt it into a mountain...? (No picture of it in the booklet, thank God.)

Oh, yeah, that dinner table scene in "Close Encounters" where he sculpts the mountain (minus the crisps!)
I remember it well. : )
