In some cases recipes accompanied the menus and these are printed in this section of the book to substantiate the fine promise of the menus themselves. May your gourmet's tour of this continent, and that dash to Hawaii and Puerto Rico, repay you with a perfect digestion”<img src="https://i.redd.it/8odlih859bfe1.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="1284x1637" style="width: 444px" />What Arkansas was eating in 1939 according the New York Worlds Fair cookbookSTATES' EVIDENCE 181 "The Mexican influence has extended this far east and north.
