Macedoine Jelly

In 1914 February 18 was a Wednesday.

I haven’t found a recipe for Macedoine Jelly. I think it’s a dessert, although the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book glossary defines Macédoine as A mixture of several kinds of vegetables. A New Book of Cookery has a recipe for Macedoine of Fruit, in which the fruit is suspended in gelatin.

We’re having leftover chicken from Sunday dinner!

Floradora Sauce is most likely named after the incredibly popular musical comedy, Florodora, which featured a chorus of beautiful Florodora Girls, including Evelyn Nesbit.
