‘Guests raved about her dinner.’ This late 1930s cookbook from Spry Vegetable Shortening tickles my fancy. Sadly, it appears that Spry lost the vegetable shortening wars to Crisco. However, “Spry Vegetable Shortening is still widely available in Cyprus”
Recipe Curio has done a great job presenting its contents.
“Naturally, you take pride and joy in serving your family tempting, healthful food, properly prepared. That’s why you’ll be so delighted with Spry, the new purer ALL-vegetable shortening. For Spry is such a vast improvement over ordinary shortenings. It makes food taste so much better. See for yourself.”
