Video on party food 1920s

[lg325]

I would love to see a lot of these at a party. The Divinity Candy would be a bit much for me but the rest looks real tasty. The folks back in the 1920s knew how to do it.

Green Turtle soup .60
Fried scallops .50
Turkey with roasted Chesnuts .75

Cucumber salad .50
Onions in cream sauce. 20

The Ginger Ale Salad looks good.

For me chicken ala king over rice, Ginger ale salad mold, stuffed crabs, deviled eggs, pine apple upside down cake with some top class hot coffee.

Can we go back to the 1920s? I'd love it ....he-he

No we can't LOL

 

[Thunk]

I'm sure the quality of the food was much better as well!!!

Rib of prime beef (prime rib)...MMMMMMMMM!

I'll bet the slab overlapped the plate on all sides too

1920s? I grew up on that stuff! When did it go out of vogue? I bet a third to half the stuff in that video we just had over the last 24 hours with or leading up to Thanksgiving!

The one thing there I never had I'd like to try is that first one the fruit salad made with ginger ale.

You never had Waldorf salad? We just had some today. My mother made that all my life as a kid.
Don't go crazy with the walnuts, and throw just a sprinkle of grapes in there.

We had stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs and pineapple upside down cake between yesterday and today. Why would anyone NOT want to eat this stuff?

Fresh from the oven baked stuffed mushroom caps smell so good and are DELICIOUS.
Deviled eggs, you can never have enough. And
pineapple upside down cake when it is crispy and caramelized on top is to die for.

Deviled eggs, you can never have enough.

For a while I would bring to family events...deviled eggs with a sausage link on each & topped with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar...everybody loved them!

I never tried sausage, I like my deviled eggs spicy. But I can make a meal on stuffed mushroom caps! If you can, what is really cool is if you have a wild foods expert in the family who can find a bunch of unusual wild mushrooms in the woods for an added look and flavor twist.

I only made those once...Stuffed with ham & cheese cooked in a white wine. They were pretty darn tasty.

I don't thunk I would trust that. That person better be an expert of experts!

 

[Thunk]

Hey...did they have video in 1920?

I never had them that way. Most people stuff them with creme cheese, parmesan, bread crumbs and a few other things and bake them.

The Ginger Ale Salad looks good.

I'm of the thinking jello and fruit/nuts or anything shouldn't mix.

 

[toobfreak]

Hey...did they have video in 1920?

Actually, yeah. The germans developed a scanning mechanical disk system in the 1880s that was the preamble to analog TV but was quickly replaced by an electronic TV system in the early 20th century.

Home cooking. The first girl is the type I wanted to meet as a young man. This video sort of fits here ,not the 1920s but from the more recent past.
