Placard, Dégustation de Tripes à Toute Heure
notes: label: Description
content: Julia Child occasionally used French bistro signs as props on the early episodes of <i>The French Chef</i> television series, which first aired in 1963. This sign, in red and black lettering, advertises a “Tasting of Tripe at Any Time,” an offering Julia knew her American audience would find funny and strange. Julia’s introduction of unfamiliar cuisine through humor and a sense of adventure brought the message home to viewers in an accessible and memorable way.
