Edwardian supper… Menu?
Well, we were thinking of a Ham and Egg Pie, a Dressed Salmon, maybe some of Mrs Beeton’s Mushroom Patties (from my 1923 copy of Household Management) and a selection of her salads. A Green Pea and Bean salad, maybe, or a very politically incorrect (and highly complicated) Russian Salad. Or maybe an Onion salad – or even a slightly alarming sounding Red Cabbage Salad which needs to stand for two days. You will find out on the night.
