1953 – Midnight Meals

An intimate menu for a midnight meal

For the last day of the year, I want to share this article from the November 1953 edition of Glamour magazine. The theme here is midnight. More specifically, a food plan for intimate dinner to be served at midnight.

. . . lay in an extra supply of tall slim candles to put the proceedings in the proper romantic light, and let midnight and good food work their special magic.

The article provides recipes for 10 different late party menu items. Here’s a sampling.

Anchovy Eggs
Tomatoes with chives
Fruit
Coffee

Eggs New Orleans
Broiled Sausages
Lettuce and chicory salad
Pralines and coffee

Balls of Fire
Radishes and cucumbers
Rose Wine
Melon

The article is available for download below.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
