i love reading cookbooks because i love to cook and love to eat and love to read. while i was reading thru some cookbooks this afternoon, i found a lovely song i thought i'd share with you:
old song about sauerkraut
sauerkraut is bully
sauerkraut is fine;
we ought to know it
for we eat it all the time.
put the cabbage in a "bar'l,"
stamp it with your feet,
when the juice begins to rise
the kraut is fit to eat.
put it in a pot,
set it on to "bile,"
be sure to keep the cover on,
or you'll smell it half a mile.
printed in the Dutch Oven: a cook book of coveted recipes from the kitchens of lunenburg, by the ladies auxilary of the lunenburg hospital society, 1953.
*this cookbook calls for cod or pork fat in almost every recipe, but i love it a lot. it also includes hand-drawn illustrations on every page (many of which are racist or horrendously cruel to animals) and the most racist recipe i've ever seen. what's up, 1953?
