What would you pick from this menu from 1899?

[1srelluc]

I'll have a order of hors and the prime rib.

Odd thing with the Canvasback duck.....They were so good they damn near ended duck hunting and created the entire migratory waterfowl act all by themselves.

Even today with Canvasback ducks you are extremely limited in how many you can take.

Hothouse chicken wth apple pie

I have the prime rib, sweet potatoes, and for dessert - chocolate eclairs. (Adventurous, I’m not.)

And definitely a hard pass on the sweetbreads.

Yeah, not much on "innards" myself.

Odd thing, my grandmother loved fresh squirrel hearts and livers.....She would not eat the rest.

More than 100 years ago diamondback terrapins were highly abundant; however, human harvest for food and use of their shells in jewelry nearly did this species in.

I never ate one but I used to catch/sell them to a buyer in DC.....Same with snapping turtles. Snappers are great eating but a bitch to clean.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

YIKES! I'll take one of everything!

Not a damn thing. Im not trusting their food handling protocols, and the lack of refrigeration during that time period is even more concerning.

I had turtle steak years ago in the islands. It was delicious.
