I am logging in some new material and had the hare-brained idea
that I would also start jotting down recipes from yearly and
monthly publications as an aid to spotting food trends etc. I am
just looking at menus and recipes from the July 1903 issue of
Modern Priscilla Magazine and thought some of you would like to
see what these breakfasts of yore looked like. I'd go for some
strawberry shortcake for breakfast. OTOH, cream toast sounds
pretty bad, although that idea persisted for quite a while--and I
think some folks still eat it!

I could easily handle all of that except for the cream toast. UGH!
Although not a bad thing, I'm not sure I'd want chicken for breakfast.

Yes, that cream toast sounded bad. I just don't like that type of
thing, which strikes me as insipid and mushy. Today I saw a
recipe for cider toast, which sounded more flavorful at least.

What exactly is cream toast? All I could think of was the US Army's S
on a S. but that seemed unlikely.

It is just soggy toast. Related is milk toast. Ugh.
