Yorkshire Relish Advert in Cookbook

This long-form advert for Yorkshire Relish appears in a cookbook published by the relish manufacturers. It reflects gender norms in society at the time and turns a potential negative of the product (the fact that it goes off quickly) into a positive (it is so delicious there isn't time for it to go off as it will be eaten)!
