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/

The Cockroach Union and Waterbugs Protective Association

      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 !   ...

Two Different Dragons

  I'm not sure if these dragons are considered "anthro" or "furry"(although they both have a little fur)-but they are both intelligent creatures!  Haku from Spirited Away- He is an eastern dragon with a wolf-like head and white fur/scales and green mane. He can transform into a human boy when he chooses-plus he is also a river spirit/guardian. He never speaks in his dragon form but he is a very intelligent creature. If you have not seen this classic Studio Ghibli movie, please do so! Falkor the luck dragon is from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story. In the original book illustrations, he had the look of a Eastern dragon with a lion's head. In the movie,he had the long body of an Eastern dragon but with a dog-like face. Either way,he is a positive creature who encourages the hero Atreyeu throughout the film. " Believe and good luck will find you"
