Winter and its lovely, long social evenings have arrived. Perhaps you spend few hours at a play and come home stimulated, warm with enthusiasm, yet cold with the brisk air and eager to have a cup of tea or coffee or a cocktail and something good and different to munch; or your friends have dropped in for bridge and gossip and anagrams and crossword puzzles, and now it is late and you want them to have just a tasty bite before they start on their homeward journey. What is best to serve on those occasions? It must be something that is tasty, that has a certain tang, and that is healthful and easily digested so that one can partake of it despite the late hour. It ought to be dainty and satisfying at the same time; it ought to appeal to the most fastidious appetite and ought to be economical enough not to be a burden on even a limited budget.
If all this seems more than one has the right to expect, and if you have until now never been able to find this ideal combination, purchase the next time you do your marketing the new “Manna Matzo Wafers” which the B. Manischewitz Company has just offered to the public. These Manna Wafers are a table delicacy of the first order. Slightly salted and tinged with caraway seeds, they have a flavor of their own which does not tire the palate. They are equally good with alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks; they are excellent eaten just as a cracker, and they are ideal as a sandwich base.
Manischewitz has become a household word for all those Jewish housewives who desire the best in quality and purity. With the Manna Matzo Wafer, the Manischewitz Company has done more than just offer a new product to the hostess. It has provided her with a real attraction, something that will make her little after-theatre snacks, or her late “stirrup-teas” a thing of joy and success, and will relieve her of the often tiresome burden of doing her own baking for her winter evening parties.
