A historical recipe

Molly Gavin's own cookbook, by Molly Gavin (1927). Project Gutenberg eBook #77698.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Cook safely

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. This may be spread on crackers, covered with minced chicken, meat, tongue or ham, and garnished with pickles, olives or capers.
  2. Brown bread may be spread with savory butter, with minced ham mixed with tart jelly, such as currant, and garnished with olives.
