#33 Rich Chocolate Frosting
Recipe uses an uncooked egg, not so sure about that.
Recipe uses an uncooked egg, not so sure about that.
Bob,
using an uncooked egg or egg yolk in Chocolate Frosting recipes in the first 60 or 70 years of the 20th century was very common. In my Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook there is at least one recipe for Chocolate Frosting that calls for an uncooked egg yolk. Personally I think that you’d be able to taste it in the frosting and the thought doesn’t appeal to me at all.
But then again, sugar is an acid and it will cause uncooked eggs to coagulate, like they’ve been subjected to heat if sugar and eggs are left in a bowl and not beaten right away, so perhaps the sugar in the frosting recipe has the same effect on the uncooked egg?
I’ll never know because I won’t be putting it to the test.

re: Bosco…
Didn’t seem to make it here as a regular grocer’s stock, remember chocolate, strawberry and blueberry offered in that long, tall glass bottle and even a picture of it in a children's book, right down to drawing my own in my own book I wrote and illustrated myself…
So, I tried each flavour and liked and after being discontinued, long-missed, though also miss the Hershey’s in the tin can, too…

It’s neat to see all these food ads
And we tasted and had all these foods as kids because my father was a buyer for a grocery store chain, but I’ve never seen a case where the storebrand was not as good or better than the brand-name and if you’re using good store brands,
today I don’t buy a single name brand product you’d have to dig through this whole house to find any brand-name item And you probably won’t,lol
Being smart and thrifty all my life buying economical cars using utilities wisely has allowed me to live very luxurious way in a large house and become a millionaire before I was 60.
I’ve never understood why people would pay more for the same thing, I went shopping at Aldis the other night, filled the shopping cart to overflowing and only spent $230 which will last me over a month. It took 8 trips to the car to carry it all in and almost an hour to put it all away, I also end up feeding several other friends many times a month and will make thanksgiving dinner for 10 from this shopping trip.

Wonder if that Welch's jellied sauce was from a year when there was a cranberry shortage--there were some years in the early 60s that had crop problems.
Re: Reply # 54
Jamie, you were very close. The Great Cranberry shortage occurred just before Thanksgiving in 1959 when traces a known carcinogen was in batches of cranberries just before Thanksgiving. (see NPR link below) I can vaguely recall the talk about this, but at the time I was 8 years old and didn’t like Cranberry Sauce so it was of no concern to me.
The Welch’s Cranberry Sauce in the ad looks like a much lighter and brighter red than Ocean Spray. BTW, in adulthood I found that I did like Cranberry Sauce, but only the jellied variety, the Whole Berry version is to tart for my taste. I especially love a nice white meat turkey sandwich with only mayonnaise, pepper and cranberry sauce on it, yum! I look forward to this after Thanksgiving every year.

Eddie, I don't think the Welch's contained any cranberries. The ad copy mentions it's a blend of concord grapes and cherries. It sounds good, but I've never seen it, so it must have been discontinued many years ago.
Tom,
Thanks for pointing this out. I obviously didn’t read the ad very closely. I wonder if they sold much of this faux “cranberry” sauce? Sounds like the combination of grapes and cherries might have been tasty.

Eddie, I didn't see it first, either. I'd certainly try it if it was still made.
