2. I love this stuff.

Thanks!

"Cooking for the Invalid" Oh dear.

The drawing of the roast hare is about as unappetizing a thing I have ever seen in a cookbook.

6. This was a common concept in the late 1800's.

This old South African cookbook also has a chapter devoted to "invalid cookery".

4. I've had cookbooks that vintage

and I gave them all too a caterer/collecter friend.

What struck me is that the thought vegetable fiber was harmful and boiled the hell out of everything--string beans boiled for an hour anyone?

I spent quite some time looking at some vintage tv ads and vintage cartoons.... the Talking Magpies, Little Miss Muffet, Betty Boop.

You can spend plenty of time here browsing.
