Creamed Tomato


One of the reasons I never get tired of collecting Bakelite is because just when you think you've seen it all, something unexpected appears. Here's a great example: a red Bakelite button that's streaked with yellowish veins. The streaks are swirled throughout the Bakelite so extensively that this shade of Bakelite is known as creamed tomato. And why not? With other Bakelite colors designated as creamed corn and creamed spinach, there's plenty of room for other variations of soup-hued plastic. So here it is, folks: An especially zingy and truly unusual soup of the day.
