Seafood, Meats, Poulty, Game

This is a digitization of my great grandmother's cookbook. The original was written by Elizabeth M. McGinley some time before I was born. I hope that making the recipes herein easier to read and search will lead to them seeing more use.

Seafood, Meats, Poulty, Game

Fish -

“the glory of the master inspired by genius; the stumbling block of ordinery cooks”

Meat -

Heaven sends us good meat but the devil sends cooks

Turkey -

One of the finest gifts which the old world has received from the new.

Game

The meat of noblemen - beef was peasant fodder

Digitizer’s note

I (David) find this quote odd, given the etymology of beef runs through the Old French boef. We have a separate word for meet of the cow precisely because the French-speaking aristocracy ate it.

The only game animal I’m aware of where we have a separate name for the meet is venison for deer.
