What do you remember about Junket or Rennet tablets? Did you have any of these recipes? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.Īll pictures and recipes copyright 1941 by Junket Desserts, a RedCo Foods company. Next up: I attempt to re-create recipes from the book with modern Rennet tablets and Junket dessert packets. Unless, of course, they spend all day running around with spoons in their hands. Still, I don’t really think the average modern kids need butter, eggs and whole milk every day.

But then again so can many of the foods today with hidden sugar and syrups. Perhaps the “nutritiousness” of these foods may be debatable. I’d laugh in joy too if all I got to eat was Rennet custard. Eggs, beans and plain sandwiches-what a birthday treat! The orange sherbet wafers afterward sure better be worth it.Īnd that baby is still laughing. The childhood joy of gelatin continues with a birthday party. Mom and Dad look pleased, “How cute darling, it’s baby’s first flan!” Just listen to that extra contented “Goo” the baby makes after getting her Junket custard. But all they really needed was Rennet custard to please the child. The next strip shows just how Junket Rennet custard tablets transformed the arduous task of feeding the baby.Īpparently, parents in the 50s literally bent over backward in attempts to feed their baby. Now if she could just manage to grasp the spoon and get the jiggly custard goodness.

So what did children of the 40s eat that was so delicious and nutritious? Let’s look:Ī well-balanced meal includes fruit, vegetables, milk and “other food” (does that mean cookies?), plus a pint of whole milk, an egg, and three squares of butter per day.

Example: A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs. Even the dog is racing on his way to the kitchen – perhaps Kibbles just didn’t cut it. For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day. Who knew desserts could be both tempting and nutritious? Better yet, according to this, desserts are the answer to diet problems too! They sure must be good desserts– just look at those kids running with big spoons (safer than running with scissors). The title of this booklet immediately attracted me.
