Turkish Soup
Creole Halibut
Bread Sticks
Creamed Brussels Sprouts
*Potato and Spinach Croquettes
Dresden Sandwiches, Wine Sauce

In 1914 October 2 was a Friday. Guess what? Fish!

I’m presuming  Creole Halibut. is the same as Halibut à la Creole, which we will have in two weeks. Fannie Farmer defines “Creole” as “with tomatoes” and the has a couple of other Creole dishes, but there’s not a lot of consistency between them.

I can’t find a recipe for Creamed Brussels Sprouts, but it may just be Brussels sprouts in the ever-popular white sauce.

*Chicken en Casserole
Riced Potatoes
Baked Macaroni au Gratin
Lettuce and Radish Salad
Orange Jelly
Chocolate Nut Wafers

In 1914 October 1 was a Thursday.

Since au gratin means “with browned crumbs”, the regular Baked Macaroni dish counts.

The recipe I found is for Chocolate Walnut Wafer, but presumably you can use any nut you want.

Beans and brown bread, how Boston can you get? I figure that Raisin Brown Bread is Boston Brown Bread with raisins added before steaming.

Fried Halibut
Sweet Potatoes
Cauliflower
Pineapple Soufflé

In 1914 September 25 was a Friday. Fish, of course.

It’s interesting that we’re just given Sweet Potatoes and Cauliflower, no specifics. Cook’s choice, I suppose.

There’s a recipe for a Cold Pineapple Soufflé, but not a regular one.
