Ever since my best friend Whitney told me about her grandmother's handwritten recipe book from the 1930's, I cannot get brains off of my mind. Here's an excerpt:
Creamed Brain
1 cup white sauce
1 brain
Would also love to get my hands on the recipe for Jim Crows.
UPDATE from Whit:
"If I remember correctly, the recipe for "Jim Crows" was sent in by a housewife from Minnesota. It was something to the tune of marshmallows dipped in chocolate. Perhaps this was her scathing culinary critique of unjust racial politics?"
I want to see photos of this handwritten cookbook.
ReplyDeleteSounds delish.
The relic, not the brains.
