February 26

Victor Hugo was born today in 1802.

The menu suggestion for a fancy dinner this week from 52 Sunday Dinners from 1913 is

Tomato Soup

Roast Guinea Fowl with Giblet Sauce and Rhubarb Sauce
Potato Soufflés
Eggplant With Fine Herbs
Dressed Head Lettuce

Orange Ice
Chocolate Jumbles (which sound like chocolate doughnuts except they're baked rather than fried)
Coffee
