Another kind of mock up: the soap tank
Permalink   

Dear all,

I just received another postcard for my collection. As it is a very curious picture of a tank, I would like to share it with you.

It is a tank made out of soap. An eye catcher on a booth of a company named Berolina.

Hope you like it.

Cheers
Chris

Don't tell Cadbury's ??

Please take my apollogies for the language gap, but what does that mean?

Cadbury's is an American owned British chocolate company, I presume made a mock up tank as well.

Mmmm...

Perhaps we should suggest a chocolate Mephisto to one of the Australian chocolate manufacturers when 2018 comes around. We have the chocolate Easter Bilby (small Australian marsupial) instead of Easter bunnies (Rabbits are not popular animals in Australia).

Regards,

Charlie

Okay then. If confectionery is not off-topic, identify this cake:

Looks like a very tasty Strawberry Chocolate cake that needs a large helping of fresh double cream to go with it ? Please Sir smile.gif

No, no. There is a Great War connection.

Through green and red to the mud (to put it with some delicacy) beyond. Now that sounds familiar though strangely inverted.

Nope. It's named after a General.

Aha, the Joffre cake - http://www.gradinamea.ro/Joffre_Cake_3023_635_1.html. Now if you'd said "Named after a Marshal" that would have been easier. Not to be confused with Pétain though.

C'est ça!

Like the famous knife that was named after the American pioneer, soldier, and hero of the Alamo, Colonel Jim Bread.

I don't get exactly the point here, as the color combination is confusing.
The kepi? Well thats red on top but black on the side, as Joffres dolman was black and his breeches red, so just the other way round and no brown involved too...
Unless it was the generals favourite dessert, he had a little 'embonpoint' though...

bon appetit,
Kieffer

I don't think it was supposed to look like him.

"chocolate buttermilk layer cake filled with chocolate ganache and frosted with chocolate buttercream originally created at Bucharest's famed Casa Capa restaurant, in honor of a visit by French General Joseph Joffre, shortly after World War I," apparently.

Clearly not a Weightwatchers recipe. It is said that the General suffered from an over-active knife and fork.

I wonder how the Soap Tank would fare against the Submarine Tram
