It's hard to imagine fruit used as anything more than a garnish or suspended in gelatin. I have the book but I'm still not convinced fruit was really used for much more than those. It was served in chemical form maybe. There was the suggestion of fruit.
I'm ready if you are. There's a slight break from maggoty meat, casseroles. I'm not going to say this is going to be sweet and succulent because it's about fruit. Where would the fun be in that?

Ham Pineapple Loaf indeed! Ham, pineapple, ham, pineapple, ham, pineapple. The purpose of the wiener plate above is not depicted. First time I've seen wieners just for background decoration. |

What better thing to dip fruit into besides melted chocolate? Cherry Cream Dressing. If I can get past the cream cheese and mayonnaise. Egh..I can't get past the cream cheese and mayonnaise. |

Plum Pudding with Fluffy Hard Sauce. I was chagrined to find out a hard sauce is just a stiff buttercream. Tricky. |

It's almost like this rack was meant to hold ice cream sundaes and ice cream sundaes only. Look a how smug they are posing. |
