Tarragon (see the earlier whitefish recipe), garlic, crushed peppercorns, ginger, garlic! Perhaps the 7-Up Empire was easing the transition from the NO SEASONINGS era in American cooking to one where it was actually okay to put something other than a gallon drum of salt into that chicken dinner. Maybe sugary soda was supposed to destroy the toxic properties of all those new, weird, exotic flavors...

But don't try to "tenderize" the meat with plain old 7-Up. It'll disintegrate!

It's nice to see the drinks presented so sedately before the entire booklet goes completely off the rails.

I don't know whether to be relieved or puzzled that the "St. Louis Blues Swizzle" isn't actually colored blue.
