Poster seeks poster.

I'm looking for a poster that used to hang in my grandmother's kitchen.

It was a poster that listed a number of cooking terms: Julienne, blanch, pare, skewer, dice, etc. Each term was accompanied by a medieval looking depiction of what the term meant. The poster was very colorful, about average poster size, and I believe had about twenty or twenty-four different terms, each in their own square box.

My mom had that same poster. Sorry, I don't know anything more about it than you do, but thanks for the memory.

My grandmother also had that same poster. Are we related?

That rings a slight bell, do you remember if it was a fold-out poster or a rolled poster? A fold out poster might indicate it was a giveaway from a cooking magazine or other publication...

thanotopsis - not too likely, unless your grand mother also lived in Warburg, Alberta.

If I had to guess between the two, I would say fold-out. But I don't remember, really. I don't believe that it was glossy paper, at least.
