Nasturtium Sandwich (1908) on Sandwiches of History⁣

We’ve done a couple of nasturtium-based sandwiches here on Sandwiches of history. There was the one that used nasturtium leaves from Five O’Clock Tea of 1896 and the Nasturtium and Celery Sandwich from 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936. Well, today we take on the version from Lowney’s Cook Book of 1908. This one forgoes the leaves and stems and just uses the flower petals. It’s also different in its call for mayonnaise instead of butter. Quick point of order, jarred mayonnaise was first sold commercially in the United States starting in 1907. But it wasn’t until 1912 that it was mass marketed. So in all likelihood the mayonnaise called for in this recipe would’ve be homemade. The astute among you will quickly notice that I do not make nor use a homemade mayonnaise. This week has been a week, as they say, with the day job not mention, without going into detail, while you enjoyed yesterday’s sandwich video, I was getting a test done that folks my age should do on the regular. All to say, didn’t have a ton of time this week. But hey, I did record and post a sandwich video each day so there’s that, right?
