Ohh, I just found a wonderful site called Food Timeline if you’re wildly or mildly curious about what people ate in the 1910’s (my case) or in decades after. You’ll find menus, cookbooks, recipes, prices, new rages, like the “cocktail party,” invented circa 1917 in Saint Louis. New products, regional specialties. So if you have time and inclination, you can plan a 1930’s dinner party for the very rich, or save money on a Depression meal from the Dust Bowl. Anyway, great site for browsing.
