• Chicken Salad •
"No, indeed! The rosebud tea set! Well, what next? You know I never use that except for the minister or the Aids. You'll put down the old brown tea set. But you can open the little yellow crock of cherry preserves. It's time it was being used anyhow--I believe it's beginning to work. And you can cut some fruit cake and have some of the cookies and snaps." (Marilla Cuthbert) Anne of Green Gables, XVI.

Salad - 5 pounds of meat 1) Roast or boil either chickens, turkey or veil. 2) Remove all the skin and gristle, and chop it very fine. 3) Put the lettuce into cold water. 4) If made with celery, it should be slivered very fine, and put into iced water to crisp. Dressing - 1-2 hard-boiled egg yolks 1) Rub egg yolks with a spoon through a fine sieve. 2) Add sugar, salt and mustard and rub into a fine paste. 3) Add vinegar and whipped cream or sour cream. 4) Pour dressing over salad ingredients (eg. butterhead lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion). **The dressing recipe was from another resource, and it suggests ingredients
like butterhead lettuce, tomato, cucumeber and onion in the salad. The salad
recipe was from "American Matron (1851)", and is a very basic chicken
salad, so the ingredients suggested above would make the salad
more interesting. Bibliography/Reference: American Matron (1851). "Chicken Salad." A Victorian Passage. 2008. A Victorian Passage.
