Ye olde tyme
recipe Twits
The spirit of Christmas will
never change, but over the years,
many other aspects of the
celebration have. Take those toys
your children receive each year.
Twenty-five or fifty years ago,
your little girl's electric oven
would more likely have been a
doll , with button eyes and em-
broidered smile. And the doll's
hair certainly never would have
been adjustable to different
lengths.
And a newly polished sled
would have been more in keeping
with the times for a little boy than
today's romping robots.
But toys are not the only
things that. have changed. The
Christmas turkey may be
traditional, but certainly many
of the trimmings, and the
methods of preparation are not,
The following recipes were
taken from the first Christmas
edition of the Exeter Times, back
in 1874.
Corn Meal - Salt Rising
In the evening, put on the fire,
one teacup of sweet or new milk,
As soon as it is scalding hot, set
off and stir in meal till it is very
stiff and then put in a bowl or dish
till morning, Then take one pint
and a half of tolerably hot water
and one teaspoonful of salt, and
stir the cold milk and meal in.
Add one teacup and a half of
flour. Beat well and place the jar
in a kettle with a little warm
water to rise, Keep warm, but not
hot, This will be sufficient to raise
three large loaves of bread.
Cottage Tea Bread
One teacup of sour milk and
one teaspoonful of soda stirred
together; one half tea cup of cold
tea; one teacup of molasses; one
teaspoon of anise seed and flour
enough to make a stiff batter.
Pour in a pan in which has been
melted about one teaspoonful of
lard. Bake slowly.
Anise Seed Cake
One cup of sugar and two eggs
beat in together; one-half cup
sour milk and one-half
teaspoonful of soda dissolved in
the milk; one teaspoonful of
anise seed; two teacups of flour;
beat all together briskly. Then
bake in small tins allowing a
teaspoonful of the paste to one

Nowadays, it is so easy to go to
the local supermarket to buy
many of the trimmings for
Christmas dinner. If it doesn't
come canned, you can usually
buy it in a box frozen, But at any
rate, much of the work is (or can
be) taken out of goodies such as
Christmas fruit cake, pudding, or
mincemeat.
In 1910, housewives didn't
always have the choice of making
it or buying it, however, The
following recipes were taken
from the T-A Christmas issue 62
years ago.
A simple Christmas Pudding
Raisins, currants, flour and
suet, three-quarters of a pound
each; half a pound of bread
crumbs; two eggs; half a pound
of treacle with a teaspoonful of
ginger. Warm the treacle and add
a little milk. Mix all the
ingredients together. Be sure to
have the suet chopped very finely
and the fruit carefully prepared.
Boil at least eight hours and three
more the day of serving.
Mincemeat
Half a pound of chopped suet;
half a pound of stoned raisins;
half a pound of chopped currants;
half a pound of chopped apples;
three-quarters of a pound of
mixed peel, finely chopped;
three-quarters of a pound of
sugar and spice to taste. Mix the
ingredients well together, place
them in jars and then add two
wine-glassfuls of brandy. If the
mincemeat is kept for a long
time, a little more brandy may be
added from time to time.

white flowers decorated

unknown, wa taken from th e
Christmas issue of the Exeter
Times in 1881.
Turkey Rhymes
Cozing with fragrance,
Juicy and brown,
Pursy with stuffing -
Pride of the town:
Prince of the gobblers,
Haughty of head,
King of barn-yard,
Wattled blood-red.
Now 'cross the platter -
Feast for great Jove -
Deposed he lieth -
Cronless old Cove,
Hushed is his gobble,
No more he whirrs,
Vanished his wattles,
Stilled are his spurs,
And the brave gourmand,
Moistens his lips,
Poses his carver,
Down lets it slip.
Appetite whetted,
Fiercest of frays,
Only the carcass
Platter displays.
Back from the table,
Gourmand with groans,
Reluctant pushes -
Eyeing the bones.
That night in horror,
Cuddled in bed,
Fifty wild gobblers
Roose 'o'er his head!
