Mum's Australian 1950's Wedding Menu

Join me on Facebook

Goodness me, like all things "wedding food" has gone through a dramatic transformation since 1950's. I thought I'd share my Mum's wedding menu straight from the 1955 caterers bill. No food stations with your favourite foodie theme here, no sushi, macaron towers, mini spicy Mexican burgers, no cocktail bars, Parisian pastries or the like. 

But, but, but, there was Ox Tongue, copius amounts of whipped cream and don't forget the party pies and cocktail sausages!! My Mums 21st menu is also included. Enjoy a look back.... and happy baking :)
