*Oysters Louisiane
Pot Roast with Dumplings
Dressed Lettuce, Russian Style
Canton Sponge
Cream Sauce

In 1914 February 26 was a Thursday.

We’ve had Dressed Lettuce often as a salad, but how to serve it “Russian Style” remains a mystery for now. Maybe it’s served with Russian Dressing instead of French.

The dessert, a steamed pudding made with preserved ginger in syrup, and its sauce are listed a separate items instead of the usual format of “Canton Sponge, Cream Sauce”. A design choice for the card or an indication how it should be served?
