Healthy food with a bit more clog

Just surfacing from finalising the company accounts for another year, I thought this might amuse you. When house renovation involves a complete rip-out, you do find the weirdest things behind walls including, in our case, a newspaper from 1895.

Among other things we found a couple of playing cards. Here's one, and the slogan on the back (see extra) is, you might say, dated. "Dutch fruit and veg. Healthy food with a bit more clog." Though heaven knows what that's got to do with pork chops.

Yes, I recall a time in my early childhood when juxtaposing Netherlands and clogs was thought the height of sophisticated humour.
