Another little time bomb.... This book, published in 1955 to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the supermarket, has some of the stranger recipes I've encountered. There is, for example, this "Mexican" salad. I suppose it's the addition of chili powder that provides that south of the border slant?
