horns and they were twisted little doughnuts like baked goods. Very

Pickled Cheese

As a younger man, I lived in the suburbs of Montreal. In the taverns of
the time, we used to get a snack of pickled white cheese with crackers
to eat while drinking a beer. I've looked on the web for recipes to make
this pickled cheese and all I get back are for Feta cheese. I'm pretty
sure that the cheese we used to get was a picled or brined white cheddar
or farmers cheese. Please help me out if you can.
Best Regards,
Randy

Greased Knuckle Soup

Do you have a recipe for greased knuckle soup ? Thank you!

I found a statement on a message board that the below recipe is it...

German Cream of Wheat Dumpling Soup

Ingredients

1 Stick margarine or butter
2 cups Quaker Cream of Wheat, 2 1/2 Minute
1 tbsp ground nutmeg
4 large eggs
4 cubes chicken bouillon
4 quarts water
 
Directions

Add chicken bouillon to water in large stock pot. Heat to rolling boil.
In separate bowl, beat eggs with fork, add butter, cream of wheat, nutmeg and mix until creamy. The mixture will harden as it rests. 
Let sit and rest 10 minutes. Scoop cream of wheat mixture into teaspoon or tablespoon dumplings and drop into boiling broth. 
Stir dumplings to avoid having them stick to bottom of pan (dumplings should float in broth).
Cook 20 minutes or longer. If too much cream of wheat is used, the dumplings will be hard but will soften when cooked longer.
Number of Servings: 8

Honey Velvet

I am looking for a recipe for Honey Velvet which is a dessert using
gelatin, milk, junket tablet and honey. It was made in the 1940's-50's in
Australia and may have come from a Davis Gelatin cookbook
Hope you can help
Deirdre

I had no success finding the recipe online, but it's in the 1950 "Davis Gelatine Dainty Dishes" cookbook. You can buy the cookbooks here:
