A ton of these old menus ALL feature tons of oysters, even ones inland from the coasts. I wonder, what was the table presentation? How were they served, ya know?? Nowadays its on a big chilled glass plate with crushed ice, on the halfshell, with lemon and sauces. How did a 15-Cent House serve me my oyster dinner, i wondermaybe a small wooden bucket filled w raw oysters and a large spoon lol
