*Iced Fruit Juice
Susette Potatoes
Mushrooms à la Sabine
Succotash
Stuffed Tomato Salad
Wheat Crispies

In 1914 July 30 was a Thursday. A meatless meal today.

The Iced Fruit Juice is less of a recipe and more of presentation directions.

*India Curry, Rice Border
Vegetable Salad
Ginger Custards
Toasted Crackers
Pimiento Cream Cheese
Café Noir

In 1914 July 25 was a Saturday.

If I were typesetting this menu, I’d probably have the crackers and cheese on the same line above the custards. I think they are to accompany the salad together and not that the crackers go with the custards while the cheese is a savory to be had after dessert.

Ironically this Indian Curry is made with veal*. I think that says a little something about how authentic it’s going to be. Another marker is that Fannie Farmer’s definition of curry powder is “A yellow powder of which the principal ingredient is turmeric. Used largely in India.”

Corn Soup
Toasted Triangles
*Ham Mousse
Dressed Cucumbers
Emergency Dinner Biscuits
Watermelon Slices
Lord Baltimore Cake

In 1914 July 20 was a Monday. As is typical, we’re using yesterday’s leftover ham.

Emergency Biscuits are what I would call drop biscuits.

Lord Baltimore Cake is the counterpart to Lady Baltimore Cake. His cake uses the egg yolks left over from the egg whites in her cake.

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.
