On the Kerosene remedy, my Grandmother used to take a teaspoon (as in drink the stuff) whenever she started coming down with a cold. She was one tough old bird.

I love authentic (ie: strange) old recipes. I won't promise to <em>make</em> everything I get, but I'm trying to be more open-minded. Oh, absolutely send the recipe.

The smell alone of singing feathers and guts is one of the reasons I'm not a big poultry fan, either! LOL <br/><br/>If you want my Oma's peppernut recipe, give me a shout. They sure do bring back some fond Christmas memories for me. <br/>For what it's worth we are German. Papa ate some wierd stuff that my Father wouldn't even comment on!

Teresa, I’m interested in authentic recipes. I don’t care about the books themselves. I’m not a collector at all.

Beth Ann, I don’t plan on doing any plucking. When I find a local source for fresh chickens — and I’ve got an address for one I need to visit — I’ll gladly pay the extra buck or two to have it plucked.

About those dark peppernuts... My Oma(great grandmother) used to make peppernuts at Christmas time.... Quite a tradition in our family... The ingredients are similar to the Danish recipe except for the ammonia... she used baking soda. Don't we live in a wonderful world now of modern conveniences. I almost had a coronary having to pluck dead chickens in my youth. Thank God for butchers.... Hey, Drew….

There's a wealth of information found in them that seems to be missing in todays editions. I found a reproduction of a 1898 El Paso (Texas) Ladies Auxiliary Cookbook. I love it. It's truly authentic. Wish I had the real thing. Hey Drew, I’m glad you love the “older” books too. There’s a wealth of information found in them that seems to be missing in todays editions.

I saw what library it was from and made an assumption. Got to go back and fix that. Tzard, I guess that’s why it was also called Hartshorn.
