The Year's Menus

329 days of bills of fare, plus 2 supplementary bills — 331 in all, in the order the book prints them.

Editor’s note, 2026

Filippini heads each day by weekday and week of the month — Sunday, Third Week of January — and never names the year. It is 1904. The book states that 1 January is a Friday, that February has a 29th, that Decoration Day and the Fourth of July fall on Mondays, that Thanksgiving is a Thursday and that Christmas is a Sunday; 1904 is the year that satisfies all six, and every one of the 329 recovered headings agrees with its 1904 date. The dates given on these pages are ours, worked out from the book’s own statements; the headings, the meals and the dishes are the book’s, as printed. Where the book’s own week-numbering repeats itself — it prints three consecutive days in the “second week” of June — we have left it exactly as printed rather than tidy it. — Ed., 2026
