The Munsonville Times was so impressed by the spread John Simons served
for his wedding to Miss Bryony Marseilles that the newspaper listed each item.
Alas, we haven’t a recipe for the twelve-tiered wedding cake.
Adapted from Miss Beecher’s domestic receiptbook: designed as a supplement to her Treatise on domestic economy.
Roast Goose Stuffed
with Mashed Potato Dressing
1 goose
Mashed potatoes
Salt
Pepper
Sage
Onions
A goose should be roasted in the same manner as a turkey. It
is better to make the stuffing of mashed
potatoes, seasoned with salt, pepper, sage, and onions, to the taste. Apple
sauce is good to serve with it. Allow 15 minutes to 1 pound, for a gosling, and
20 or more for an older one. Goose should be cooked rare.
