“Individual meat loaves”

It’s time for more Prem.

[Life, June 23, 1947. Click for a larger view.]

I think the meal follows this logic: The marmalade cuts the taste of the Prem. The cauliflower and buttered almonds cut the taste of the Prem and marmalade. The french fried onion rings cut the taste of the cauliflower and buttered almonds.

All done. Where’s my Jell-O?

Bottom line: just eat the french fried onion rings, and avoid all the rest.

“Fine pork,” this ad says. The other one says “genuine sugar-cured pork.”

Don't we think this is proto-spam?

Spam (or SPAM) came first, in 1937. PREM (all caps), in 1939. The name is clearly modeled on the Hormel food. And then there’s Treet, also 1939.

But I’m not spamming with these posts, just premming. : )

I suppose PREM is for "premium"? But I think of Otto Preminger and his exposed pink head... (not famous in 1939 though).
