In 1919, the average housewife had to have at her disposal
far more kitchen skills than the average lady today.
For example, she had to know how to remove the brains from a
head, pluck out an animal’s eyeballs, and excavate its nose and hairy parts for
small bones. She had to be able to peel a tongue and remove all the meat from
the cooked head.
Yesterday's housewife did not have the convenience of canned sheep's head. This one proudly notes that it contains no preservative. Think about that. |
That is all.
