Soya, a good mixer with meat
Recipe poster with two photographs, a sliced meat loaf and a folded omelet, with the headlines 'Soya - a good mixer with meat' and '4-egg omelet with Soya serves six'. Small drawings compare one pound of beef against three-quarters of a pound plus soya grits, 25 percent less beef. The technique is faint here; card-stacking fits because only the saving is shown.
