Ack. That looks more like a stern warning than a serving suggestion.

LOL! You've nailed my reaction perfectly.

Only YOU can prevent people from roasting Vienna sausages over a flaming cabbage head.

Lolz.

Gahh!!! Regurgitated appetizers.

"Nature makes the meat..."

Sorry, there is nothing natural about any of those...things. *shudder*

Mmmmm, canned, processed meat products. P:

[marstokyo.livejournal.com]

Warning: do not eat any food named Potted Meat Food Product!

Mushed ham is not a delicacy, no matter how you serve it. The ad agency dudes that came up with this were seriously on drugs :)

Another one for the Gallery of Regrettable Food... (http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/)

Yes!! I realized after I posted this ad that I should have given a shoutout to James Lileks, who opened my eyes to the wonderful, horrible world of vintage cookbook photography.

I think there's a reason why the platter looks like an upside down pentagram and the meat looks like a sacrifice...

The food is of the DEVIL!

Those appetizer meats don't look too appetizing.

(see what I did thar)

I expect it would have looked a wee bit better if the platter didn't match the color of the meat so much. Contrast goes a long way....

This definitely shows how large a part potted meats played in decades past. Nowadays, many of us buy one kind or another (perhaps as a back up), but with all the fresh and frozen items available, most canned meats stay on the shelf. We have canned chicken in the pantry, but I usually just microwave or poach a frozen chicken breast.

The same goes for vegetables. I usually choose fresh or frozen over canned, so the canned veggies sit and sit and sit...

With all the "deli-sliced" meats and such so readily available to us now, the texture of canned meats has become strange.
