Years ago my kitchen was used for making variety of mustards and labels were designed for them that had an assortment of comedy cats on them.
(There was a 4th label that had my gorgeous mug on it - but those ones got all used up.)
This year after my kitchen was used for the making of Scary Sauce, F decided that she ought to label the bottles.
It took a whole morning to produce two labels with picture and writing to fit on a page of round sticky things and get them all lined up right. And I noticed immediately that she has forgotten the most important part - that all these bottles need to be labelled 'biohazard'.

ReplyDeleteMOL - oh Tigger, I would have loved to have seen a label with your 'mug' on it!!! I know that designing such things takes time - but it is quite fun to do as well - though might also lead to frustrations. I have to say, I rather like the sound of the hairy horseradish mustard!!!

Dear YAM-aunty, Our honey labels had all of me on them - sitting on top of one of the beehives. Everything is MINE so i have to approve the labelling. Fz&Pz Mr T
DeleteThe labels are adorable (so much work!). I would be one wanting the Biohazard label attached - so I could avoid those bottles (not into 'hot' stuff, LOL).
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day :) xx
You are right of course. I'm not sure who is going to use all this scary sauce. Maybe they are going to rub it into arthritic joints!
DeleteHow clever. I would never be able to produce that
ReplyDeleteI used to print labels on paper and then a big wide sticky tape was used to attach them on the jars
Very basic
Our labels are usually plain paper stuck on with watered down pva glue, but the scary sauce is in tiny bottles and she had these tiny (40mm) round sticky labels for jar lids so decided to use those.
ReplyDeleteI read the post, I read others comments I read your answers and all of it make perfect sense. there is an answer for everything and for the life of me, i can't think of a question to ask and I am usually full of questions. I just thought of one. which foods get what hotsauce? since I don't eat hot stuff, i have no idea. I do love yellow mustard, the kind with no HEAT...
ReplyDeleteAunty P puts scary sauce on her Pringles. We all think that is weird.
DeleteF uses it in chili beans, for nachos, in some of her Thai and Indian dishes, even the Chinese stir-fries get a few drops. On the rare occasions these days that she makes Moroccan or Ghanaian meat dishes there might be some chili. Some of your 'Southern' dishes get scaryfied too - some Cajun dishes have a bit.
I like those labels, very clever, I doubt I'd ever think of anything like those.
ReplyDeleteMr B named it, I just modelled the effect. F scoured free pictures on the internet - and there you have it. No special skill.
