Tuesday’s ad is for the Barley and Malt Institute, from 1959. This is the fourth ad I have from the now defunct trade group for barley growers. In this one a feminine hand is adding beer to a fondue pot, while a man is stirring it and holding up the “OK” sign, presumably to indicate there’s enough beer in the mix. And that tagline, “Fun-Flavors your creative cookery;” I’m not even sure that quite makes sense. But cheese and beer? Now those are some fun flavors.
Whatever the cheese(s), it won’t take much of any beer to make the fondue too watery & thin for dipping bread into – ya gotta let some of the liquid evaporate. However, it might be interesting to dip half-cooked shrimp into melted pepper jack infused with Bohemia/Negra Modela/similar.
