Description:

Short film about the making of Spork, a canned pork and spice product, by the Burns Company Limited. It shows the factory in Calgary, Alberta where Spork is made (some of the same sequences as used in Meat for Moderns). The film tells the story of how Spork helps wartime families. It shows factory workers while talking about the importance of nutrition for workers. The head of a family is shown after working, catching a bus for home. The bus sign is "Mount Royal". The mother also gets home from work after doing volunter work for the war effort and she has to prepare supper. The overall-clad daughter also gets home from working on a salvage crew. Spork is advertised as a time-saver for such busy families. It is also described as a "delicacy", used as a filler for sandwiches and in food hampers for soldiers overseas. The film concludes with footage of several different meals prepared with Spork, the "meat of many uses", including Spork and beans. <3mn 29s>
