ya Kopper I know this is off topic, but could you leave it in here for a day or 2 before moving it? Thanks buddy!

Ok, this is gonna sound wierd, but I have exausted every other resource out there........So here goes......

Ok, my mother is incharge of part of this "old fasioned cooking" dinner for her work. Her job is to cook a dish from the 1920s. I have searched high and low for a 1920s recipe, but there is just nothing out there. Would any of you happen to have one? It doesn't matter what it is, it just hasto be from, the 1920s..... or if not, do you know what kinda stuff they usedto eat back then?!

Thanks for your help guys!

Pretty much anything poured from a cocktail shaker to begin with... (joke)

I would think there are lots of dishes in todays recipe books that were around well before the twenties. "Time honoured classics" that no one ever makes anymore. Beef Wellington or something like that. Almost any well known French dish... It supposed to be something unique to the twenties, or just anything that would have been around then? You might try just looking for the oldest recipe books you can find in used or antiquarian book stores...

Can't think of anything else off hand.

We didn't 'ave food back in the twenties! If we were locky, we got a handful of hot gravel to eat.

How bout if you try one of the great many books about range cookin'? Cowboy grub hasn't changed much. And you'll have to make EVerything from scratch too.

I am in a hurry right now, but if anyone is interested I can email the recipe. It's easy to make.

Hamburgers were invented in the 20's weren't they? So was moonshine, I think?
