ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins I ate a fantastic ratatouille last night. Anyone else care to share? Did you use the recipe Korrigan of AGEOD posted a few months ago? Speaking of meals. As we are getting closer to Thanksgiving, I present you the "Bill of Fare", served in the I corps, Army of the Potomoc on Thanksgiving 1862 (it helps if you speak French): Fresh oysters, not on the shell. Green turtle soup, a la tin cin. Leg of mutton, cut in capres. Roast turkey, a la "Hard Tack", and cranberry sauce. Sweet potatoes, aux cendres. Haricots, farcis aux vents. Riz, a la Dixie. Pomme de terres, a la smash. Canvasback ducks, au feu d'enfer, and current jelly. Lobster salad, rather doubtful. Mince pies, a l'essence de pommes. Pumpkin pies, au New England rum. Almonds-no raisins-apples. Ginger, "hot in the mouth". Fruit cake. Coffee and whiskey. Taken from Charles S. Wainwright's "Diary of Battle".
