    Fish Facts

    THE VERY FIRST "PIGS" IN BLANKETS WERE OYSTERS!


    Pigs in Blankets. Wrap a thin slice of bacon around each oyster and fasten with a toothpick. Arrange on a rack on a dripping pan. Bake in a hot oven (425° to 450°). -Good Cooking, Marjorie Heseltine and Ula Dow, new edition, 1937


    SHRIMP COCKTAIL ORIGINS:


    Although people have been combining fish with spicy sauces since ancient times, the "shrimp cocktail," as we Americans know it today, belongs to the late 19th/early 20th century. A survey of American cookbooks confirms the combination of shellfish (most typically oysters) and a spicy tomato-based sauce (usually ketchup spiced with horseradish, tabasco, and cayenne) served in tiny cups as appetizers was extremely popular in the early part of the 20th century.

    "Cocktail" appetizers (think fruit cocktail, shrimp cocktail) were extremely popular during the 1920s, the decade of Prohibition. In the 1920s, these appetizers were actually served in "cocktail glasses" originally meant to hold alcoholic beverages. It was a creative way to use the stemware! [Mifflin Company: Boston 1936]
