Christmas dinner menus from 100 yrs. ago.
Oysters and celery to start, boozy drinks in the middle and frozen eggnog for dessert! What Christmas dinners looked like 100 years ago
Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz4TADigWAe Green sea turtle seems to be on a few of the menus. Looked at a 100 yr. old menu in a sea food restaurant in New England and lobster was plentiful. A servants contract next to it read "Lobster will only be served to the staff once a week." Not because it was expensive it was considered cheap filler plentiful food.

The Griswold House menu has Roast Opossum, Stuffed , Southern Style.
This year I have relocated a couple of dozen trapped possums. Hmm . . . maybe I should rethink . . . . nah they are too stinky to fool with.

I read somewhere that on the west coast in the late 1800s only the Chinese would eat shrimp. The Americans thought of it as a garbage fish.
