Menu, Borden's Dairy World Restaurant, 1939 World's Fair, New York

 

Hi Guys! 

Any time is a good time for ice cream, so let's take a break and head on over to Borden's Dairy World Restaurant!  I've got an in with Elsie the Cow, who's going to serve up some irradiated treats for us to enjoy!  

 


 

All of this stuff looks pretty good and I gotta say, the prices are right!  And boy, that irradiated milk sure tingles in your stomach!  Will I be coming back for more?  You bet!

Thanks Elsie!

    The pimiento cheese again, of course. Elsie must have been some kind of pepper-head.

    I remember getting a (government subsidized) half-pint carton of milk for 3¢ with the school lunch program. Of course, the President's name was Kennedy or Johnson back then, too.

      There must be some kind of historical precedent for pimientos in cheese -- wonder where it comes from originally? I sort of understand peppers and spices in sausage, but I thought cheese was supposed to rot?

      Milk was always a dime for us, from first grade up to high school, when it went to 20 cents. I guess that's what happens when you go off the silver standard.

      The funny thing is, I can't even find cheese with pimentos anymore. Down South Pimento Cheese is popular, but that's something entirely different, (usually cheddar) cheese mixed with pimentos and mayonnaise. It's used as a dip or spread, and some folks eat it as a sandwich. Times and tastes do change.

      I guess "pepper Jack" and other such cheese with jalapeno chiles have replaced it? You see jalapenos in a lot of things these days.

      Cheese and mayonnaise sounds kind of nasty, but it might be OK in a sandwich. Guess I have to try it!

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/

Kamaitachi

Japanese whirlwind demon.  I could not find the name of the artist but I am guessing that the red kanji is a signature.  These invisible demons employ their sickle claws to do their thing.  Pretty malevolent, if you ask me.   If anybody has invisible flying bloodthirsty slasher weasels it would be the Japanese.  This vicious fellow is by Xatchett off DeviantArt.   https://www.deviantart.com/xatchett   These yokai ride dustdevils and whirlwinds and slash up the unwary, while drawing no blood.  In the 1890's there was a rash of these attacks. Some anime.   https://youtu.be/sxC-g5sCWXk The whirlwind thing seems to be a big part of all this. Kamaitachi, by Eikoh Hosea, 1969. And another.   This is the photographer who took the dynamic black and white pictures of Yukio Mishima I had posted in an earlier essay.   The model in this series, Kamaitachi, is a famous avant-garde dancer, Tatsumi H
