Vintage food?

What ho, what ho, what ho! I've got a question for you all.

Does anyone know about any cakes, confections, small dishes etc that were popular/common in the wonderful Jazz Age? I'm hosting a theme party (yes, I was watching J&W when I got the idea), and we need stuff to eat along with the champagne ^^ I'm keeping it all as period-appropriate as possible, so we'll all be wearing costumes and listening to Radio Dismuke and smoking cigarettes in long mouthpieces and what have you. (I might post photos) But I need ideas for the food/cakes, and maybe for decorations, if anyone's got a clue. I don't, sadly :S

Researchers/history geeks, come forth ^^

Jeeze-us. Everything sounds better in French, doesn't it?


A bit random, but, you know what the French call pubic lice? 'papillons d' amour'. 'Love butterflies'. They sound quite nice with a name like that, don't they?

Love butterflies do sound quite lovely, but pickled pork tongue and sweetbreads are on the ick side of things.

They call them WHA? AAAAHHHHH! What is it with the French???

*smirk* Now *that* is a fantastic response.

Yeah, doesn't make me eager to get a French girlfriend, either.
