Medalta resurrects local recipes dating back close to a century
MEDICINE HAT, AB – A mixture of old and new at the former I-XL brick plant on Monday, as staff from Medalta tested out recipes dating back to the mid 1920s.
The recipes come from a Medalta cookbook discovered in the provincial archives in Edmonton, and list meals such as sugar-cured bacon, baked beans, corned beef, and even pickled tongue.
On Monday, staff chose to re-create a chicken casserole and sauerkraut, using many of the same methods as the recipes from 1924.
