The food compartment of the refrigerator is, curiously enough, the inside. Sometimes it’s called the “fresh food compartment” to distinguish it from an attached freezer, if any. A similar (but different) recipe for Banana Whip appeared in the May 23, 1911 edition of The Toledo News-Bee.
From a box sold in Canby, Oregon.
