Lesson learned: Arrange cold cuts in a nice circle, and everyone will think they're eating steak. From the August issue of American Home magazine.

Here, we definitely enter into the realm of Trying Way Too Damn Hard. Prune Ham Rolls (l): Deep-fried rolls of boiled ham, prunes, and ketchup, coated in eggs, milk and white bread crumbs. Yikes. Veal "Birds" (upper right) were disturbingly contorted fried-then-boiled (!!) pieces of veal steak got up to resemble chicken. Because chicken was more expensive and/or harder to get back then and apparently you couldn't just give up and eat beans and rice like the rest of the world.. The "Jack Horner Fritters..."

Not one, but two recipes with Marjoram ("or Sage") in them! I feel dizzy.
