"How To Serve Bananas In the Service" is an undated booklet that's credited to the Home Economics Department of the Fruit Dispatch Company, "Distributors of United Fruit Company Bananas," which was located at Pier 3, North River, New York, NY. The 64 page guide is just the thing if you're a cook for a company of soldiers, sailors and the like. No date on this but I suspect it's from the 1950s just by the look of it. There is no artist named. The anthropomorphic bananas are fun to see and I have a combo here of full page scans and then some highlighted drawings. It's too bad this unsung illustrator is unknown. Oh, and let me know if you try any of these recipes!
