Read 'Back Stairs at the Whitehouse' some time. The early cooks were black
but directed by the first ladies. Men didn't trouble their hands with such
nonsense. The White House Cookbook is a good one (1887 edition).

Of course we're talking way before the former Bush administration. And I do
wish everyone would stop beating around the Bushes.

Plain Economical Soup

"Take a cold roast beef bone, pieces of beef steak, the rack of a cold
turkey or chicken. Put them into a pot with three or four quarts of water,
two carrots, three turnips, one onion, a few cloves, pepper and salt. Boil
the whole gently four hours then strain it through a collander, mashing the
vegetables so they will pass through. Skim off the fat and treturn the soup
to the pot. Mix one tablespoonful of flour with two of water; it into into
the soup and boil the whole for 10 minutes. Serve this soup with sippets of
toast.

Sippets are bits of dry toast cut into a triangular form. A seasonable dish
about the holidays."
