Peach Tapioca

In 1914 November 9 was a Monday.

I don’t see a recipe for Fish Ramequins. Maybe it’s something like Creamed Fish only baked in ramekins instead of shells.

Cream of Pea Soup
Croûtons
Beef Pie
*Escalloped Cabbage
Moulded Rice, Wine Sauce

In 1914 November 3 was a Tuesday.

I think the Moulded Rice is just that — hot rice pressed into a form. No recipe has appeared yet. I guess the addition of wine sauce makes it dessert.
