M.E.B. Christmas Fare : Xmas 1955 : recipe leaflet : Midlands Electricity Board : [Birmingham] : 1955 by mikeyashworth Via Flickr: It's a merry Christmas from the old M.E.B. - the Midlands Electricity Board based at Mucklows Hill just on the edge of Birmingham and the nationalised concern whose supply and distribution area covered much of Central England. The leaflet gives details of various Christmas recipes to prepare in an electric cooker and suggests that, as a present to yourself, why not get an electric cooker? I suppose suggesting you bought one as a present for someone else might be seen as being over generous.
