What s on your Christmas menu? Probably not sweetbread croquettes, deep sea salad or squirrel pot pie. But more than 100 years ago, these dishes might have been part of any home cook s holiday repertoire.
Recipes like these offer a window into early-20th-century homes, thanks to a 1904 copy of the Gold Medal Flour cookbook, Christmas edition. This slim volume is one of the treasures in the archive at General Mills headquarters in Golden Valley, and, for the lucky few, a prized find at estate sales or on resale sites like eBay.
