Food lovers' Christmas wish list

When I was a kid we didn't have a lot at Christmas, but we always had the Wish Book, a.k.a. the Sears Christmas catalog. Don't get me wrong, we weren't Waltons poor by any means -- no tangerines and balls of string under our trees -- but in the mid-1960s with four kids on a military salary, there wasn't much room for extravagances.
