Summary
A rectangular piece of card with 'Mushroom Ketchup' handwritten in block capitals, in black ink. Handwritten underneath, in smaller writing, is the name 'Mrs. M. Smith' and the location 'Worcester'. Drawn on the top, left hand corner is a red asterisk. This was used as a label at a Traditional British Food event, held in 1932, and organised by Matilda Talbot. It appears this piece of card was reused for this event as, on the reverse is information about a 'Miss Talbot At Home' event. It was held in the Blue Parlour at Lacock Abbey and featured a talk by Miss Eileen Power on Medieval Sheep-farming in England. Also handwritten, in pencil, on this side is the prices for a large bottle and a small bottle of the mushroom ketchup.
