Several years ago, I posted some menus from the Order of the Eastern Star, from meetings held in Connecticut in 1950, simply because I’m interested in what people eat in different times and places. Here are two more.

The first is from the Official Visitation of Mrs. Clara C. Huntley, Worthy Grand Matron, and Associate Grand Officers, to the Berkeley Chapter, No. 95, in Norwalk, Connecticut, on Wednesday, May 7, 1947. Like the others I posted earlier, the fare was strictly Anglo-American, based on meat and potatoes.

The second is from the Official Visit of Mrs. Grace B. Grindal, Worthy Grand Matron, and her Associate Grand Officers, to the Olive Chapter, No. 26, in Shelton, Connecticut, on Friday, May 7, 1948. The menu is similar, although the entree is different. Note the typo on “Cabbbage Salad.” I hope none of the guests were upset by it.
