Stuck on a recipe for your next Christmas do? Try this Jellied Veal Loaf from 1939. Apparently, it’s ’a delicious luncheon dish and ideal for occasions over the holiday season when you want to serve something a little different’ (AWW, 23 December 1939) Go on…try it. I dare you.
A loaf made of jelly, eggs and gherkins surrounded by salad.
