Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
From Dainty Desserts for Dainty People (1915), Knox Gelatine
I'm interrupting the semi-regularly scheduled Midnight Sausage series to share molded food images and recipes from my personal collection of early-to-mid 20th century cookbooks. There will be aspic. There will be mousse. There will be various gelatins. All will be semi-solid and of debatable degrees of edibility.
Please feel free to shimmy and shake your way to the comments section to share your very own magical, masticable molds of yore.

That collection was a casualty when we down sized to a town house. Thankfully the collection mostly went to 2 sister in Chicago through bookcrossing.com. Most of those publishe in the first half of the last century were publishe in Chicago. Don't worry I still have the one hundred or so cookbooks I actually use. I still have my first edition Betty Crocker cook book. Happy cooking! CJ
