Brown Soup
Noodles
Pork Chops
Apple Sauce
Baked Potatoes
*Corn Southern Style
Irish Moss Blanc Mange with Sliced Bananas and Cream

In 1914 December 5 was a Saturday.

I think Brown Soup is Brown Soup Stock with Noodles in it. What to Have for Dinner has a recipe for Brown Soup with Macaroni Rings and Cheese that is just Brown Soup Stock heated up with slices of cooked macaroni added and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

Oh no, Irish Moss Blanc Mange is back!

Cream of Spinach Soup
Souffléd Crackers
Fillets of Halibut
Cucumber Ribbons
Kernels of Pork
Potato Nests
Stuffed Onions
Malaga Salad
Wheat Crispies
*Irish Iceberg
Shamrock Wafers
Toasted Cracker
Roquefort
Café Noir

In 1914 March 17 was a Tuesday.

No corned beef and cabbage here! We do have some green foods and thematic desserts. Cream of Spinach Soup, Cucumber Ribbons, and Malaga Salad are all various shades of green. You’re also supposed to tint the lemon ice for the Irish Iceberg with leaf green. You also pour crême de menthe over it presumably the green colored version.  And serve it with Shamrock Wafers.

I don’t know how the halibut fillets are suppose to be prepared, so I leave that up to you.

The Potato Nests are supposed to be filled with something. Maybe the Kernels of Pork?

Malagas are white grapes, which, of course, means that they’re green.

I can’t find a specific recipe for Shamrock Wafers. Maybe they’re just cookies cut in shamrock shapes.

There are three different kinds of crackers served with this meal! Souffléd Crackers (with the soup) are made with common crackers, Wheat Crispies (with the salad) are a commercial brand, and toasted crackers  (with the cheese) could be almost anything.

Fried Cod
Pork Scraps
Boiled Beets
Potatoes au Gratin
*Fruit and Nut Salad
Graham Sandwiches
Prune Whip, Custard Sauce

In 1914 February 27 was a Friday. Fish again!

Fried Cod and Pork Scraps are two separate items, but served together.

Graham bread is whole wheat bread. I’m guessing the Graham Sandwiches are small bread and butter sandwiches to accompany the salad, but I don’t know for sure.
