I am looking for listings of food from the 10's,20's,30's,40's,?

50's,60's,70's,80's,90's,& 00's. I have looked all over, including foodtimeline.com,etc... with no success, I am trying to put together a party to go with music through the decades, and thought I would try to do a decade food menu to go with it.

    I'm assuming you mean foodtimeline.org and to be honest there are no set foods that go with each decade. Foods and recipes vary greatly with what was available in certain areas at the time. In 1910, most places stuck with what was available locally because of the cost to effectively ship perishables before they would spoil.

    Fannie Farmer was the top cook book author in the 1910's, so that may be of some use http://www.bartleby.com/87/ (last book she actually wrote)

    Maybe you could find foods that were introduced during that decade?
