Your February Recipes

What with all that talk about meat earlier in the day, it reminded me we haven't kept up with posting the recipes like we should. So, again, from Ruth Berolzheimer's 1948 "Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook," here's some seasonally appropriate "February Dinners":

Sauerbraten
Potato Dumplings
Brussels Sprouts
Celery
Carrot Sticks
Linzer Torte
Coffee

Roast Pork and Sage Stuffing
Spinach Ring
Apple Frappé
Celery
Frosted Gingerbread
Coffee

Braised Liver with Vegetables
Boiled Potatoes
Grapefruit and Banana Salad
Chocolate cookies
Coffee

Pan-broiled Calf's liver and Bacon
Creamed Potatoes
French Fried Oinions
Corn bread
Grapefruit and Cherry salad
Coffee

I think the genius of the inclusion of coffee has finally been revealed to me. Honestly, those initial February dinners would bind you up like crazy. You can see why they'd cut out all the other stuff and just go for nothing but meat at those beefsteak events. And bourbon. And coffee.
