PRESSURE COOKING
SAVES
- all the flavor I
For an out-of-the-ordinary meal, pressure cook Spanish
Meat Loaf. None of the juice and natural tastiness
escapes. They’re sealed in. You get the same added
flavor in Fleetwood Coffee. SupAromatized coffee is
roasted by an exclusive Fleetwood method which gets
the same results as pressure cooking. Try this coffee
with the rich sealed-in flavor today. You’ll taste the
difference. In bags or vacuum-packed tins
