In 1926 the USDA did some matchmaking for Uncle Sam. They created a character named “Aunt Sammy” to teach domestic science over the radio. So many requests came in for her recipes — like watermelon pickle and asparagus on toast — that the USDA published this booklet in 1931.
This primary source comes from the Publications of the U.S. Government.
