Posted by Jeremy Klaszus in Klaszus Corner

Had enough of Bob's recipes yet? Here's the third installment:

Pudding a la Reine

Take down flask from shelf and pour stiff horn down your throat. Whip five or six eggs into a fine lather and pour in a quart of milk. Add cupful of sugar. Have another drink. Add a little minced onion and the contents of a can of strawberries with pepper and salt to season. Flavor with vanilla and set away to cool. If the guests are not satisfied with this, tell them to go to hell and throw the pudding out of the window. Finish the flask.

— Bob Edwards Summer Annual, 1923 (as found in Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers and Unabashed Grafters: A Bob Edwards Chrestomathy, edited by James Martin.)

The first recipe is here, and the second one is here.
