I’ve found recipes for mock bisque and mock bouillon, but not consommé. Not yet…

For the Nut Wafers, use the Almond Wafers recipe, but substitute your favorite nuts.

Strawberry Bomb
Grandma’s Pound Cakes

I haven’t found a recipe for the Strawberry Bomb. A bomb is a moulded ice cream with an outer shell of one flavor and an inner filling of a different one. I assume that one of them was strawberry. : )

Potatoes à la Maître d’Hôtel 
Asparagus on Toast
Cheese Sandwiches
Lettuce and Radish Mayonnaise

In 1914 June 5 was a Friday. Look at that… fish!

I am guessing that Lettuce and Radish Mayonnaise is Lettuce and Radish Salad with Mayonnaise Dressing instead of French.

Nut Wafers

For Nut Wafers, I found a recipe for Almond Wafers which says you can substitute other nuts for the almonds, so I guess, go nuts with your favorite.
