Everyone outside the U.S. who's heard of Elvis probably thinks we all love banana sandwiches here. I've never fixed one, and I probably never will. o_0 (Originally posted to flickr on January 31st, 2011.)

Loaded jam was clearly the 1950s precursor to loaded brownies. From the August issue of Family Circle .

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.

Don't get me wrong. I love me some homemade mac 'n cheese, even when my wallet is full, but this arrangement is almost fatally drab in appearance. (Lima beans-- shudder!) This meal could've used help from the Lavender Patrol back on Page 3.

Shown here in glorious Gauze-O-Vision! From the August issue of Sunset magazine.

It's due in part to the diminutive scale of these booklets, but I only have to squint a little to imagine almost everything on these pages as novelty buttons. The "pompons," in particular, would be fabulous marching up the front of a fluffy pink angora sweater.

Upper L: You'd think that the truly authentic "3-D" sandwich would be red and green. :/ Upper R: PB & J &... M? Uh, you first. :/ :/ Lower L & R: It's hard to say which is more disturbing: the glossy shellacked ham or the freakish bleeding omelet. I guess the latter might be good for my next Halloween party.

Fruit as we love it most: pulverized, over-sweetened, and oh-so shiny! (L) Front and back, (R) first two pages of a 14-page promo published by Kraft Kitchens, Chicago, Illinois.
