It’s January 1951 at Gourmet, and the editors are celebrating the magazine’s tenth anniversary by reprinting their most frequent requests.  The article offers a few fascinating – and often surprising – insights into what America was eating in the middle of the last century.  The recipes literally span the globe. Here are a few that most intrigued me.  (Others include Shrimp Creole, Coq au Vin, Chopped Chicken Livers, Onion Soup, Salt Rising Bread and that most ubiquitous of recipes, Lindy’s Strawberry Cheesecake.)
