The flip side of the fold-out, in both Dutch and French, I believe. Does anyone know more about this "3 Mills" company? I'd love to hear from you. (When I first posted these several years ago, the sizing was off. I'm re-posting them now because I can't get the "Replace" function to work anymore. :( )

I don't know where I got this particular fold-out, and I can only guess about the year. It appears to be promoting rolled oats (or oat malt, or oat flakes) for use in cereals, baked goods, and soups.

I liked this one better before I started thinking about where the photographer had to be. o_0 From the May issue of Sports Illustrated .

I wish I could narrow the date down a bit better. But hey, herring-infused cocktails... My fave! (Shown about 1/3rd larger than original size.)

Some very dedicated stylist was up all night getting that top cheese to balance properly. Let's give him/her an, er, round of applause okay?

This isn't really my favorite era of commercial illustration, but it has spared us a weird murky photo of the Fruity Cheeseball-gelatine edifice. So in this case, we're cool.

This bright, shiny cheese will go great with my new plastic mini-dress and go-go boots! Uh, a couple of years down the road...

[sulks] Damn it, I need a souffle' dish! Living without one is pretty much like living without running water or electricity.

Nothin' prettier than a Dutch moon on the wane...

So almost every recipe in here is "Cheese + Butter," "Cheese + Mayo" or "Cheese + Butter + Mayo." I'm sorry to ruin the surprise, but it's true.

"Holland Cheese Hors D'Oeuvres: make plenty, guests love them. 1/4 C finely chopped walnuts 3 C finely grated imported Holland Edam or Gouda cheese 2 tsp prepared mustard 2 T chopped parsley 1/4 C sweet butter 1/4 C mayonnaise 2 drops Tabasco 6 Vienna rolls "Saute' walnuts in a little butter until golden. Drain on paper towels until cool. Soften butter. Add cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, Tabasco, and parsley to butter. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Stir in walnuts. Cut and set aside ends from rolls. Pull out as much of roll centers as possible. (Save to use as bread crumbs.) Roll shells should be no more than 1/8" thick. "Fill the roll shells with cheese mixture. Replace ends and wrap each roll in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Freeze overnight. Let rolls stand at room temperature about 20 minutes before slicing. Cut slices about 1/4" thick. Serve at once. Makes about 6 dozen hors d'oeuvres."

This made me want to find that old Muppet Show sketch where singing cheeses serenaded Kermit with a rendition of "Gouda Gouda." No such luck, though. Front cover of a 16-page promo from the Holland Cheese Exporters Association, New York, NY.

"Dutch Skaters' Soup: (almost incredibly good) : 1/4 C butter 2 C light cream 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 2 C finely grated imported Holland Gouda cheese 1/4 C flour 2 C milk dash pepper 2 drops Tabasco Paprika for garnish Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour and stir until well blended. Gradually add cream and milk, mixing well. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until soup-base is thickened. Remove from heat and add salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. "Place cheese in a blender. Gradually add hot mixture to cheese, running blender until soup is smooth. Reheat over very low heat, stirring frequently until piping hot. Serve in soup cups garnished with a dash of paprika. This Dutch recipe makes about 6 C or 8 3/4 C servings. "Note: If soup is not served immediately, reheat in a double boiler and blend again in blender."
