In 1914 February 11 was a Wednesday.

Appledore Soup is just potato soup with some ketchup stirred in. The name comes from Appledore House, a hotel on the Isles of Shoals, Maine. For many years the cook there was Maria Parloa, who wrote The Appledore Cook Book and was one of the first instructors at The Boston Cooking School.

What is schrod? Also spelled “scrod”, it’s a young whitefish, usually too small to be filleted. These days, scrod is the term used for any young whitefish, but Fannie Farmer specifically says it is a young cod and that haddock can be dressed the same.
