Movie: Delicious Dishes


The grandfather of infomercials (and it wasn't that hand hammered wok) shows a variety of kitchen gadgets that would make any pre-food processor homemaker proud.
Alright.. Here we go.
This preposterously great short features a chef of undetermined sexual preference (his voice shrills up at times in a very bizarre manner) demonstrating to "the ladies in the audience" in the way that old time narrators talked to the audience (eg looking left and right) that the women of the theater would be able to get "a fascinating 12 piece kitchen set, one piece each week. It is really fascinating and in-teresting to know how to prepare food in an app-etizing manner". He then demonstrates the set in the classic carnival shiller style, with these facts:
1) If you run out of shrimp for your shrimp salad, you can always use raw potato.
2) Mother in Laws like big hunks of potato.
3) The combination of Cabbage, flour dough and parsley go well together, especially when ground together really fine (absorbs the juice that way)
4) The Melon baller used to be called the "Farijon Scoop"
5) Those potato slicers that you always see advertised for free used to be called the "Sarah Bernhardt" cutter. You're guess is as good as mine why.
This is a MUST SEE!!!!!
(but be warned, the sound is a bit off in the middle and it's only 12 minutes, with 3 minutes of blackness)
The audio is out of sync in the middle, but it doesn't affect the viewing or the viewing pleasure.
