Interesting book, based upon skimming over the (extensive!) TOC. I wonder, too, why many of those dishes aren't prepared in this day. But something makes me think that the cookbook must have been published in the U.K., whose peeps have different tastes in food than us Yanks.

Church suppers? I hadn't thought of that possibility. I didn't look at the beginning of the book to see if it was intended for large numbers of peeps; but it seems that at least some of the recipes must have been for something like a large church. Or maybe a church with people with some very large _appetites_.
