the All-American Cookbook by the Saturday Evening Post- Chicken Hash, Deer Roast, Persimmon Pudding, Buttered Dandelion Greens, and more
I picked this book up in a used bookstore. It was released in 1975 or 1976 for the USA's bicentennial. It's a pretty neat cookbook that I ended up liking more than I thought I would. Each section has an overly romanticized history of American food and the book has exactly one illustration including a minority (a butler). But there are also a bunch of very interesting recipes showing how people used to eat. Coffee jello has pretty much been forgotten in the USA but it's still a popular summer dessert in Japan and Korea (minus the rum that this recipe calls for). Has anyone cooked anything out of this book?
