I just got a cookbook from 1913 and I am so excited about it. In the back are some hand-written recipes and tucked into the pages are more hand-written recipes and newspaper cut outs. I got chills — I was that happy. Anyway, I only briefly looked through the recipes, but one that caught my eye was a recipe for Pigs in a Blanket. If there’s one thing I love in this world, it’s hotdogs, but no hotdogs were used in this recipe. It called for veal cutlets, cut into 2 inch strips, wrapped in Canadian bacon, then fried. As much as I love today’s hotdog-in-pastry version of pigs in a blanket, 1913’s meat-on-meat action trumps all.
