I had never heard of cocoa shells, and the book doesn't have the recipe for it. I googled "cocoa shells" and came up with links to modern-day mulch tips. Another search, this time "cocoa shells drink" came up with the link I provided above. It must have been the more frugal way to drink hot cocoa!
If I were served some of these breakfasts, I think my stomach would turn! Broiled liver for breakfast?
This book is a high school text book, and it is quite interesting to page through!

Oh my, broiled liver!! blaaah, but most of them sounded real good, like the corn flakes, bacon and eggs, rolls and coffee, that one would work for me lol
The fish and liver gotta go....NO CAN DO!!! ROFL!! =P
However, some of the rest sounds pretty good. I LOVE LOVE LOVE those old home ec. textbooks. My collection is quite small, but treasured. ;-)

Cocoa shells? Never heard of that. "Creamed dried beef on toast" sounds good to me! That's the kind of stuff my Nana would fix for us we visited as kids.
And Wheatena? Never heard of that either.
That's obviously not a Southern menu as I see no grits or hominy! No redeye gravy or country ham!!

Just out of curiosity, is this a British text book?

Where did you find this book?
Very interesting!!! Some of them sound good, some of them, well I think I'll pass.
Just visiting your lovely blog...some people are hearty eaters...and would love this no doubt. For myself, just a cup of something hot for the first hour or two of the day suits me to a tea. =)
stewed figs. oooh. creamed salt fish. ooooohhhh. "dropped" egg on toast? did my kids make this menu? :)
The word verification for this comment is "icntxhzc" - which is short for "I CaN'T eXHale or I'll be ZiCk."
I'll pass on the liver for any meal of the day-but for breakfast! AAAAGGHH!
I went to that website and there is a recipe for coffee made with egg and ground up egg shell. HUH?
hmmm those are some pretty weird meals mixed in with some ordinary.. but Liver?? YUCK! corn flakes and creamed salt fish??? straange lol...My favourite is the last one though.... I don't care so much for traditional breakfast fare, but that last one sounds good to me. I prefer leftover dinner to breakfast anyday!
I like your closet--it looks really good... I love organized closets!!
Hi there Tammy!
I'm the breakfast maker at my house, so this had some nifty ideas for me (pretty big breakfasts though!). For readers looking for breakfast ideas, I have a planner on my blog here: http://liberfidesveritas.blogspot.com/2007/02/breakfast-planner.html
(Sorry, I couldn't resist promoting my blog!! :)
Emily, I do believe that Wheatena is a hot cereal that is still on the market.
Kristi, the book was published by the American Book Company.
Rona, I bought the book off e-bay quite a while ago.
Thanks for all the comments! They were fun to read! =)
