You Asked For It: 1951

It's January 1951 at Gourmet, and the editors are celebrating the magazine's tenth anniversary by reprinting their most frequent requests.  The article offers a few fascinating - and often surprising - insights into what America was eating in the middle of the last century.  The recipes literally span the globe.
