*Tomato Soup (without stock)
Croûtons
Roast Stuffed Turkey, Giblet Gravy
Cranberry Jelly
Curled Celery
Mashed Potatoes
Onions in Cream
Orange Ice
Nut Caramel Cake
Toasted Crackers
Roquefort
Café Noir

In 1914 January 4 was a Sunday, presumably which is why the menu is rather elaborate.

I’m still looking for the recipe for the Nut Caramel Cake. If anyone has a lead, send it my way, please,

There should probably be more spacing between Toasted Crackers and Roquefort, as I believe they are two menu items and not cheese-flavored crackers.

This is our first appearance of Café Noir, merely the French way of saying “black coffee”. However, it will not be the last.
