Luckily this old cookbook tells us what should be served for grand and splendid entertainment and even has a drawing of how to lay out the table.<br \/>\nI have recreated all of the dishes on the table and it is nothing like what we&#8217;d serve today.  There are no salads, no vegetables, no rice or pasta dishes, just lots of meat and desserts.  If you&#8217;re looking to make your own 200 year recipes I&#8217;d recommend trying the raspberry puffs and almond cakes as they were the crowd pleasers.  <\/p>\n<p>First Course:<br \/>\n <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/first-course-200-year-old-banquet-550x330.jpg\" alt=\"first course\" width=\"550\" height=\"330\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135929\" data-wp-pid=\"135929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/first-course-200-year-old-banquet-550x330.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/first-course-200-year-old-banquet-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/first-course-200-year-old-banquet-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/first-course-200-year-old-banquet-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/first-course-200-year-old-banquet-400x240.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/first-course-200-year-old-banquet.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Second Course:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/second-course-grand-200-year-old-baquet-550x358.jpg\" alt=\"second course 1800s cooking\" width=\"550\" height=\"358\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135930\" data-wp-pid=\"135930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/second-course-grand-200-year-old-baquet-550x358.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/second-course-grand-200-year-old-baquet-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/second-course-grand-200-year-old-baquet-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/second-course-grand-200-year-old-baquet-1536x998.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/second-course-grand-200-year-old-baquet-400x260.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/second-course-grand-200-year-old-baquet.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Below are all the dishes from the second course.<\/p>\n<h4>Blancmange<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blan-mange-200-year-old-recipe-550x305.png\" alt=\"blanc mange 200 year old cookbook\" width=\"550\" height=\"305\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135912\" data-wp-pid=\"135912\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-550x550.jpg\" alt=\"blanc mange\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-135889\" data-wp-pid=\"135889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/blanmange-200-year-old-voictorain-recipe-old-cookbook-howtocookthat.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/> I used the second recipe for blanc mange, it is interesting to note that there is no sugar in the recipe so it is not sweet at all.

To make this with gelatine skip the steps of boiling calves feet and adding egg whites to clarify the jelly.  Instead make half a quart of sweet clear jelly using water, gelatine (see packet for the amount needed to set this volume of water) and sugar to taste. Then follow the rest of the directions as in the recipe.  The chocolate jelly goes under the shapes and fills them so I suggest that once it is set, before you remove the shapes, use a straw to get it out of the moon and stars.<br \/>\nIt tastes like a chocolatey jelly.
