American Can Company Regional Recipes (1951-1954)
Hello again!
In speaking of grocery stores and diets this week, I thought we could stay on theme today with a little look into America's cupboard for a very familiar item: the tin can. I was searching the words "delicious meals" on Google Books when I came across two circa 1950 Life magazine with the above advertisements. You never know what kind of wingding thing will come up even when you put an innocuous enough phrase into the search box! "SACK O' SAUCE IN A CAN O'MEAT" was probably not going to win any advertising awards that year for the originators of the phrase, but gosh did it get my attention. The fifties' seem to have been the forefront for a culinary revolution of canned gourmet. Anything you can make we can "can" better, advertisements like this one screeched at the mid century housewife. Pie crusts! Whole chicken pot pies! Chow mein! All you need is a can opener and a brisk, dismissive attitude towards the "made from scratch" school of thinking.
On searching "in a can", I came across this series of menus and recipes prepared by the American Can Company in the early 1950's. You can click on any of the pages to get a better gander at what's inside, or the menu's title for the recipe in its original magazine.
Note! Alma Archer probably does not approve of these menus. Dieters, beware! Can food enthusiasts, rejoice! Non canned items needed are listed in italics.

American Can people, remember Nelson Peltz?
In cleaning up older files, I ran across this snip from the Forbes Billionire listings:
----------------------------------
The World's Billionaires
#647 Nelson Peltz
03.11.09, 06:00 PM EST
Wharton dropout had first score with Triangle Industries' acquisition of National Can 1985; sold company for $4.2 billion 1988.
Net Worth:$1.1 bil
Fortune:self made
Source:leveraged buyouts
Age:66
Country Of Citizenship:United States
Residence:Bedford, New York
Industry:Finance
Education:University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, Drop Out,
Marital Status:married, 10 children
Wharton dropout had first score with Triangle Industries' acquisition of National Can 1985; sold company for $4.2 billion 1988. Bought Snapple from Quaker Oats for $300 million; sold company 3 years later to Cadbury Schweppes for $1.5 billion. Develops insights into brands by browsing supermarkets, frequenting fast-food chains. Two years ago, stepped down as chief of holding company Triarc (renamed Wendy's/Arby's Group after merger with Wendy's last fall), stayed on as non-executive chairman. Today controls 22% of Wendy's/Arby's via investment firm Trian. Raised $1 billion for "blank check" company in January 2008; poised to make acquisition.
----------------
I know all the retirees from the American Can Corporation are doing this well. Triangle bought out American Can and combined operations with National Can in the mid 80s and formed the American National Can Corporation in Chicago. Oops, I forgot the company cancelled its promice of life-time benefits with the help of Federal Judge Schultz, a Bush appointee.
Most of the folks at American Can 083 in St. Louis went to Silgan Containers whom also modified its "pension" insurance.
