In 1914 November 19 was a Thursday. We’ve got leftover lamb from last night’s dinner.

In 1914 November 18 was a Wednesday. I’m not sure why, but Wednesdays tend to be a fancy dinner, not as fancy as Sundays, but more elaborate than most other days.
I couldn’t find a recipe for Chicken Cream Soup. Fannie Farmer says that cream soups are “made of vegetables or fish, with milk, and a small amount of cream and seasonings. Always thickened.”

No recipe for Lamb Stew that I can find. It might be the same recipe as Beef Stew, just with lamb. We had roast beef last night and “Remnants of roast beef are usually made into a beef stew”. It seems odd that we’d be having lamb stew instead.

The Onion Purée looks like it’s served as a soup from its position on the menu. However, I think it’s supposed to be an accompaniment to the lamb chops, like on the July 2 menu.
I made the Drop Cookies! You can see the process and results here:
These were really good! Hearty autumnal cookies. After I made the test batch, I added dark chocolate chips to the batter. I’m such a renegade… but the results were great. I made a bonus video for Patreon on how I rendered the lard.

There’s no recipe that I could find for Spaghetti, Italian Style, so we’re having Macaroni, Italian Style and substituting spaghetti.

Pimolas are green olives stuffed with pimiento. Presumably Pimola Cheese had olives in it. I’m thinking it was something spreadable, like cream cheese, with chopped olives mixed in, but I don’t know yet.
I made Peas à la Française!
In all the other contemporary recipes, lettuce was added at the end.
