Hello Jerry,
Corn nuts are made by roasting or frying seasoned kernels of sweet corn that've been
soaked overnight in water. See:

Hello Carley,
See below. This recipe is from 1764.
Phaed
Orange Brandy
1.7lt (3 pints) Water
1.1lt (2 pints) Brandy
340g (12oz) Sugar
8 Oranges, peel only
Thinly pare the peel from the oranges.
Add them to the brandy.
Allow to stand in a sealed container for 48 hours.
Boil the sugar and water until it has reduced by half.
Allow the syrup to go cold.
Mix with the brandy.
To make Orange Brandy
Take a quart of brandy, the peels of eight oranges thin pared, keep them
in the brandy forty-eight hours in a close pitcher, then take three pints

half be consumed, and let it stand till cold, then mix it with the brandy.
English Housewifry - 1764
Dear Phaed,
You were so kind last month to look up a recipe for me. Thanks so much.
This recipe was in a Good Housekeeping Cook Book that I got in 1959 when I
got married. I've never seen another one like it. It's so great for post
holiday left-over turkey.
Turkey Spaghetti (no tomato sauce)
With the holidays coming up, most of us have left over turkey. This is the
best easy recipe I've ever found for that--doesn't taste like leftover at all
!!! (You can use chicken.)
Cut up turkey or chicken
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced green pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 cup chopped pimento (optional but good for color)
12 oz. thin spaghetti
sliced ripe olives (to taste-the recipe called for 1/2 cup)
1 1/2 cup grated process American cheese (I've used other cheeses)
canned chicken broth if you don't boil chicken or turkey from scratch
If boiling meat, measure broth & add enough water to make 2 quarts
(Otherwise use canned broth & stretch with water to 2 quarts.) In skillet, brown
onion, green pepper and paprika until light brown. Add to broth with pimento
and cut-up turkey. Heat to boiling. Add spaghetti. Cook uncovered 15 to
20 minutes or until spaghetti is tender. DO NOT DRAIN. Add olives & 1 cup
cheese. Heat well.
Serve on large, deep platter or serving dish. Top with rest of cheese.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Thanks again,
Eleanor in CA
