Featured 1924 biscuit for birth of child???

What a nice thing to say @Branka!

 

I used to think it was my mother's quick and easy answer to apple pie.....no crust to roll or apples to peel.

We love it!

 

Beschuit and fresh strawberries is the answer!

 

I don't ever remember having Zwieback w strawberries before.

How were they prepared?

I didn't like them too much as a child.......only knew to eat them plain so never wanted any.

I only have memories of Farmor dunking them into her coffee.

 

Simple, just put slices of fresh strawberry on top. Some people like to add sugar, but I never do.
Beschuit is a bit lighter than zwieback, not as dense, thicker but more crumbly.

 

Beschuit sounds like it is much better. Certainly looks delish with the strawberries!

 

As you do
I’d love to know your thought process ‘Oh, that doesn’t taste good, never mind, I need a bookend’

 

Well, I didn't want to waste it.

 

It wasn't eatable - it was hard as a rock. Actually, it kind of looks like that biscuit (Maybe a little shinier because of the shellac). I hope whoever cleans out my house does donate it, and it ends up here as a mystery item.

 

Thank you. Someone has to speak up for people with unique sensibilities.

 

Judy that applesauce pie sounds delish.
Who knew of this tradition? Not me.. Live and learn.

 

Well it was my first effort, so I wanted to memorialize it.

 

And rightly so.

 

Hi,
My Gram used to fry apple slices and stack them with strawberries for special breakfast treats.

Thank you Pearls.............it is easy to make!!

 

We did an estate sale years ago; and found an amazing amount of odd items from a 1920 wedding. Included were the dress and Brussels lace veil wedding rings, groom's white suit, their "college pins" (when you pinned each other to go steady), wedding announcements, info about the shower and whom gave what gift, favors from the shower, newspaper clippings in the society page, and even a box with a piece of cake in it! ... everything EXCEPT a photo...not one!
