Well, maybe not the Cooked Ox Tongues so much. Not on my table. The ad above and the asparagus ad below are both from 1910:
Fruit cocktail - this advertisement was in a 1938 Sunset magazine:
Fruit Cocktail again, from 1953 this time. Oh, yes - it looks much better in color!
Peaches and fruit cocktail, also from 1953:
Creamed corn from 1959. I do like it, but I never buy it anymore. I would if I needed it for a recipe, though:
Libby's Lite, from 1981:
And "Now" , here are two current labels. This time the corn is organic, and the peaches are sweetened with Splenda. Modern times, huh?:
"It says Libby's, Libby's, Libby's on the label, label, label."
I guess I would try the ox tongue, I liked the tongue we had when we were little and butchered our calf. It's a strange texture, but I find that interesting, and back in the olden days you ate what you had to, and it was edible! Probably best for soups or stews.
