Baked Stuffed Haddock, Egg Sauce
Julienne Potatoes
Moulded Spinach
*Tomato and Celery Salad
Cheese Wafers
Steamed Graham Pudding, Foamy Sauce

In 1914 January 2 was a Friday. The main dish is fish, not a surprise in New England where fish was abundant. Let’s see if fish on Friday becomes a trend

The Cheese Wafers are made with zephyrettes — a brand of cracker made by the National Biscuit Company (formerly the Kennedy Biscuit Company in Cambridge, MA). Any light, crisp cracker should do.

Cream of Pea Soup
Crisp Crackers
Pan Broiled Lamb Chops
Currant Jelly
Baked Turnip Cubes, White Sauce
*Pineapple Cream

In 1914 January 1 was a Thursday.

Yes, there is actually a recipe for crisp crackers!

Pineapple Cream is a light and fluffy gelatin mold. Watch me make it in the video below!

The short version is that it’s pretty good! Not too sweet and very fruity and creamy, if a tad rubbery.

Convenience foods like granulated gelatin and canned pineapple would make a luxurious dish that was actually relatively easy to make.
