Victuals of Quality Preparation
At a country auction in Quebec the auctioneer offered a torn straw basket full of medicine books . I knew that such books of the 1800s and early 1900s were full of observations on food as well as remedies for the family and horses. So I made a bid and got the basket – and so received 10 times my money”s worth. Among the volumes was an 85-page book with a hard cover published in Upper Canada in 1901. Its title was Victuals of Quality and it contained two chapters of unusual ideas. These are my favorites. For Delicate Fingers: The hostess with delicate taste has an unusual way to offer a snack with champagne in a moonlit garden. She fills nasturtium flowers the fresh cream cheese made light by the addition of whipped cream. Sweet Peach Applesauce: When you next serve a golden, fragrant roast of pork, serve it with applesauce made sweet with a liqueur glass of port wine, along with a pinch of sage and cinnamon. Top and beat with a piece of butter, but never, never add sugar. Fruit Temptation: Cook enough of the fresh fruit of your choice in a minute quantity of water, over low heat in a covered saucpan, to make 2 cups of fruit puree after being put through a sieve. To the fruit add a syrup made with 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water, the juice of 2 lemons or 2 oranges. Mix well and freeze until mushy. Pleasant Raspberry: A Canadian trifle of raspberry. Layers of French macaroons soaked in Spanish sherry with a thick coating of custard on each layer, and on the custard, sweetened raspberries. A few hours in the cold room, and you have a most seasonal dessert.
