It looks to me like vaguely Colonial-inspired more-or-less haute
cuisine, with a couple of demonstrably Philadelphia classics
interspersed. For example, they have pepperpot soup, and turkey pie, but
no bacon and greens! Some of it is vaguely Colonial-inspired generic
Eastern Seaboard, like the roast duck and the Maine lobster pie (bet
they were eating a _lot_ of that in Colonial Philadelphia).

I would say it is all pretty much aimed at modern expectations, and any
resemblance to the food of the period is not so much accidental as
contrived and superficial.
