In the Hall of the Ry-King (Now With Extra Gravy!)

Well, what’s it going to be – gravy and roast beef, or some nice little dry crispbreads?

Here are some more Ann-Marie Lambert approved products from 1967. She says the gravy doesn’t taste like it is from a can. But most canned stuff does taste like that! It can’t help it. It was in the can for some time, it absorbs canniness. These things are inevitable. And it won’t have a subtle blend of flavors, either. Unless Ann-Marie means a blend of tin, salt and Oxo cubes. That’s subtle!

But never mind, there’s all kinds of Ry-King crispbread to choose from. I like the Brown Thin flavor especially – I can just imagine how yummy that must be. Sounds like a Crayola crayon. It might have half the calories of bread but it does not have twice the flavor (but that might depend on whether we are talking about homemade or Wonder).

Ry-King sounds like the bad guy in a fairy tale, who keeps princesses locked up in a tower in his Scandanavian stronghold. And I also know what they’re getting for rations up in that tower!
