Ok I have to ask.........what is American sauce? Ketchup?
The little picture has tomatoes, pepper, oil, and what looks to be cider vinegar, which are some of the ingredients of ketchups, but I think the name is probably there just to differentiate it from "Spanish" or "Asian" sauce so Americans would feel safe when buying it.
Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name Pannhaas or "pan rabbit", is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then pan-fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as an American food of the Mid-Atlantic states. Scrapple and panhaas are commonly considered an ethnic food of the Pennsylvania Dutch, including the Mennonites and Amish. Scrapple is found in supermarkets throughout the region in both fresh and frozen refrigerated cases.
I'm not sure if I tried it and my mind is blocking out the memory or if I noped out when I found out what it is.

I would like to know if people actually ate this shit at parties.
I guess someone had to - maybe an intern or something sometimes for the publishers, but I do wonder how many consumers actually made those ghastly things for parties back then. I posted a link a while back where a few cooks prepared and tried some of the gross dishes. Some of their facial expressions are hilarious, as well as their commentary.
My god...they win the bravery award. That banana thing is just, whoa. How could you put that on a plate and serve to party guests that you actually want to keep?
