"We're transcribing our historical restaurant menus, dish by dish, so that they can be searched by what people were eating back in the day. It's a big job so we need your help!"
http://menus.nypl.org/ This is a big project - transcribing menus from photographs of them placed on the web,so that they can be easily and freely accessed.One little piece of information for those planning their Christmas 'starters'.the most popular nibbles at the beginning of the 20th century were a mix of olives, celery and salted almonds.
Thanks, ellie! I'm transcribing.
