A Salute to Stew


Ah, stew, that warmer of cold bones. Stew is a meal that makes me think of my childhood. Mom used to collect leftovers through the week and by Thursday we'd have the ingredients for stew. It was the hodgepodge meal that cleared the refrigerator, but generally went un-saluted.

Probably not surprising this ad comes from the American Meat Institute, a meat producer's lobbying organization. Also not surprising they chose blood red as a background color or that their ingredients are about sixty percent meat. Carrots look a bit tired and, are those mushrooms at the top? Can't tell, they're just kind of dried out looking round things.
