I can kind of see where they were going with the sauce. It's kind of a country gravy that they tried to turn into alfredo sauce halfway through. The banana slices just seem spiteful, though.
edit: i misunderstood, they don't boil the chickens
No, you were right the first time. You're supposed to put the whole chickens into the large saucepan with celery and water and boil the shit out of them.
1. Put the whole chickens (or joint them if pan is not sufficiently large) into pan, add diced celery, water, and seasoning.
2. Bring to boil; remove any scum from the top of the liquid, cover pan, lower heat, simmer gently – allow 45 minutes for jointed chicken, 1 hour for whole birds – until tender but unbroken; lift onto hot dish.
3. Blend flour with half the milk, stir into stock, cook until thickened.
4. Add the butter and the egg blended with the remainder of the milk, and COOK GENTLY without boiling for several minutes.
5. Strain some of the sauce over the birds, then garnish with the sliced hard-cooked egg, bananas, and vegetables.
TO SERVE: With the rest of the sauce and mashed potatoes
TO VARY: Serve with cooked macaroni instead of potatoes; add a little cream and sherry to the sauce at step 4.
No seriously, marry me.

i do like how so many of the old recipes have at least one variation at the end that just changes it up completely
like there's this Orange Onion Salad in one of the books i found a bit ago, and at the end it says "turn this into an artichoke salad: add 14. oz tin of drained artichoke heads. Toss"
oh dear i just noticed a salad recipe that i hadn't seen before (also this book has a weird layout and tried to give measurements in both imperial and metric)
Whipping cream
(or 1 evelope topping) 1/4 cup 50ml
Mayonnaise 1/4 cup 50ml
Cut banas in half crosswise, then in half again lengthwise. Dip each piece in lemon juice. Roll in nuts and arrange on lettuce leaves. This can be done on one large playe or on individual small playtes.
Whip cream until stiff. Mix in mayonnaise. Spoon over banaas.
I've ordered that before, and it did not look like that picture, it basically looked the same from the bottom up to the top of the patty, then the cheese and toppings were like half a cm high and then the other three quarters of the cavity were just empty air.
I was supremely underwhelmed.

Always.

Actually there are strict regulations about how much food photography is allowed to lie! For example, they can't add more food quantity to a demo picture on an ad like that. But they can move it around all they like. So some hapless food stylist spent twenty minutes pushing all the cheese to the cut plane of that calzone, and tweaking the pepperoni placement with tweezers.

Of course, bananas are a crime by themselves

I've put some slices of pepperoni on my burger before, it's a good combo
I don't know why I haven't seen a restaurant with a "pizza burger" like that yet
OR
will I stasis you, hit you 5 times, watch you convulse until you explode, and then take your money?

I haven't, so that is pretty strange.

sure, it doesn't sound that nice, especially since they apparently do boil the chickens
but it's not profoundly awful or anything
it's not incomprehensibly awful
they're not encasing it in jelly or anything

Oh no, I just hate white sauce.

what is your opinion on lasagne?

Depending on the amount of white sauce, it ranges from "ugh" to "hurk".

What? I've been lied to by UKIP yet again!
White Sauce is Bechemel. A mother sauce on which a bunch of other sauces are based including Country Gravy. A roux with milk to thin it out.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
fortunately this discussion is really helping with that.
Ooooh okay. Yeah I love bechemel, pastitso is one of my fav Greek dishes
