July 25

*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.”

*Hindus do not eat beef in any form and many are vegetarians.

Duchess Soup
Imperial Crusts
Boiled Ham
Baked Macaroni
Quick Dinner Biscuits See May 16
*Fruit Salad
Cream Sponge Cake

In 1914 July 11 was a Saturday.

The only real difference I can see between Imperial Crusts and Imperial Sticks is that the Sticks are buttered before toasting and the crusts aren’t.

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. : )
