From The Shamokin Dispatch In 1965 A Recipe that may go out of style, but never fails when followed.
By 1895, According to the Miltonian Newspaper our Thanksgiving Dinners had become "dainty". Apparently they included "Chops in lace, paper frills, and sandwiches tied with pink ribbon". I'm not familiar with those Thanksgiving trends, they apparently did not last.
Below are a variety of old recipes pulled from local newspapers. They include a great article on pie making for "those who may be out of practice" in 1935, and recipes from everything from Oyster Stew to Pineapple Cabbage Jello.
For the clippings that are smaller, and harder to read, right click and "save as", then you can enlarge the photo on your computer. Sometimes just clicking on the photo will enable you to enlarge it as well.
