other good pork values this
week. BY the way, at the Swift
Co. breakfast last week in
Chicago they introduced their
new package of bacon. 1t

tons with seven to eight
strips of bacon to a section.
The lift-f1ap that peels free

this new packaging idea.

yellow onions, kale, carrots,
beets, butternut squash and
collards.

the local scene. They're
Jimma's Mississippi hush
puppy mix, spoon bread mix
and natural rice pancake
mix.
All three come in attractive
old-fashioned paper bags;
each 12-ounce package has a
separate plastic inner bag to
seal the flavor in and the
dust out; Kissinger Mills.
Inc, located in Kinsale, Va,
is the manufacturer.
The flours and meals used
in the trio are ground by the
old-fashioned cold stone
method to retain the full
flavor Of the grain. The fact
that no mill heat is generated
during the milling operation
accounts for the high vita
min and mineral content of
the products.
Stone ground yellow corn
meal is used for the hush
puppy mix along with a
variety of seasonings and a
hint Of sweet California onion
for flavor.
Because it's lighter in
flavor, white corn meal is
used for the spoon bread mix.
