Abstract
ABSTRACT Several hundred menus from the Lotos Club have been preserved from the period 1870 to the present. They are from so-called “State Dinners” honoring important people. They show in unusual detail and over a considerable period of time the changing tastes in cuisine, from adherence to French haute cuisine standards to the current fashions such as local and seasonal. It is useful to look at the food served at institutions such as clubs because while slow to change (and often proud of their sometimes-odd culinary traditions), they reflect the shifts in American taste focused in a way that restaurants, which serve a more varied clientele, do not.
