rymrytr.livejournal.comGot cold, left over beef? Some Scallop Shells just lyin' around?
This Cookbook was published in about 1828. My copy, a modern reprint, is a combination of two Cookbooks and purports to be the first "American" cookbooks.
Seriously, Great Great Grandma had it pretty rough compared to you and I!
A NICE LITTLE DISH OF BEEF
Mince cold roast beef, fat and lean, very fine, add chopped onion, pepper, salt and a little good gravy, fill scallop shells, two parts full, and fill them up with potatoes mashed smooth with cream, put a bit of butter on the top, and set them in an oven to brown.
