Hot-Diggity Dogs

Hot-Diggity Dogs Magazine Advertisement, June 1949

 

Hi Guys!

From the Hybrid Kitchen comes Elsie the Cow's recipe for Hot-Diggity Dogs!  These dee-licious anthropomorphic hot dogs are made with Borden's Chateau cheese food.  What?  You can't find Chateau at your supermarket?  No surprise there -- it hasn't been made in many moons!  But you could just as easily substitute any soft white cheese, or yellow if you prefer.  I mean, it's hard to go wrong with hot dogs, bacon, and cheese!  

Unless, of course, you're a cow.  But I'm not going to get into that now.  Let's just imagine how good these guys are going to taste once you get 'em off the grill and into those hot-dog buns!

Bon appetit, mes amis!  Until next time!

    "Psst! Don't tell the kids, but Elmer's in the hot dogs!" They might be wieners, but they're anthropomorphic, too.

    I do remember Borden's Chateau cheese from when I was quite young. It had a texture very much like Kraft's Velveeta, but the half-pound packages were also available with pimentos. A quick scan of the Interwebz turned up no Chateau advertisements later than about 1963. They also offered little screw-top jars of soft cheese also with pimentos (or the white cheddar variety could be had with pineapple bits). My Mom used to buy these too, but with a family of six, they didn't last long.

      I know, right? The concept here is disturbing on many different levels...

      Thanks for confirming that Chateau was basically Velveeta. I suspected as much and was going to say so, but I didn't know for sure. What is it with the '50s and pimentos, btw.? They seemed to be in everything...

      One of my contacts on Flickr is a little older than I am, and she belongs to a "Mid-Century Supper Club." They use recipes from old magazines, ads or family archives to recreate dishes from 'between the end of WWII and the first moon landing'. Pimentos? Jars of them!

      Ha ha! That's great! I once gave a friend of mine a recipe booklet from the '50s as a joke. And darned if she didn't make up a plate of these weird pickle-sailboat things just as they appeared in said book. They weren't half-bad, either!

      Thank'ee good sir! I just came into a pile of Elsie stuff, but I think I should play it out lest this become the "Elsie the Cow" site...

      Judging from our numbers lately I'd be happy to be the 'Elsie the Cow' site, or any other celebrity talking anthro corporate shill.

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

      Hi Guys! I'm back with some more anthro bug weirdness courtesy of Peterman's Roach Food!   This stuff was designed to kill cockroaches and other insect vermin way back in the early 1900s !  It came in a bright red tin covered with microscopic pictures that tell a most distressing story !  Seems that the bugs are up in arms because something is killing them off !  They have formed a " protective association " and are marching in protest kind of like Coxey's Army !           But it's no good !  All that marching has worked up the bugs' appetites !  So they check in to chow down on some of that delicious " roach food ."  Too bad it's poison !  One by one, the roaches eat the tainted feast and they croak , right there on the package !     Man, that's tough !  But I guess if you've got cockroaches marching around in your kitchen , this is how you deal with them !   One of the interesting things about this old tin is that the d

Indeed. Air start of a seaplane race, in the 1930s on Spontoon Island. Colour for this image by Taral Wayne.  November 1932 - Spontoon Island Lagoon. The Pumpkin Pie Season begins! Early in the morning of 1 November, the first pies are distributed to visitors and guests by neighborhood volunteer servers. The servers here are performing one of the first-morning pie-walk server dances. (Not all the pie-sharing is this lively. Other traditional parts of a Spontoonie breakfast may be served by the servers.) Free pies from the local co-op bakers are distributed to early morning parties at the neighborhood picnic areas and gathering-booths. More free pies (or pie-slices) are delivered for breakfasts via co-op trucks (and some delivery boats) to distribution locations. With advance notice, free pumpkin pies will be delivered in time for breakfast to apartment buildings, hotels, & resorts, for interested visitors and tourists.   Pies are also delivered from new batches, baked t
