Hah! Those of us with hard copies of this extraordinary volume don't  
need no steenkeeng Gutenberg.org editions!

I'm especially fond of all the oddly-named late-nineteenth century  
commercial food products (There's always room for Protose!!!)  
mentioned in the recipes, without much reference to what they are,  
unless you read the fine print in the introduction, to find they were  
all made by the author's company...

I STR Protose was essentially TVP: dried, ground seitan...

bellies."
