October Menu ~1884

OctoberMenu_1880s

October Menu.

Welcome October!

Fall is truly here. This month’s menu comes from the Franco-American Cookery Book; Or, how to live well and eat wisely every day of the year.

This menu is quite the production! From stewed frogs to French fries, there’s something for everyone. The poor snipe is featured, again. I’m surprised there aren’t more seasonal fruits or vegetables this time around.

I feel like the little boy from UP asking about the snipe. 😉
Can I call you Mr. Fredrickson?
