The nation was going completely dry--and the soda shops were ready. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Prohibition shuttered saloons, thirsty law-abiding citizens turned to soda fountains for sustenance and entertainment. Parlor owners developed concoctions to suit every taste--and to keep their counters and tables full. Names from the soda shop menu hint at the dimensions of change in this dynamic era: Prohibition Sour, Flapper Frapp , and sundaes like the Suffragist, Soldier Boy Kiss, and \"Reel\" Nice Movie--all of which are included in this volume--are among scores of tasty, innovative treats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoda Shop Salvation\u003c\/b\u003e collects more than 125 recipes for imaginative drinks, sundae varieties, and luncheonette delights from the 1920s, evoking the time of speakeasies, newfangled devices, and racy automobiles. Tidbits of the history of suffragists and flappers, bootleggers and G-men--whose collective commentary demonstrates that the nation's approach to Prohibition was anything but straightforward--interweave with the recipes. Excerpts and quotes from publications of the time offer advice for entrepreneurs, tips on early road food, and some really corny jokes. \u003cb\u003eSoda Shop Salvation\u003c\/b\u003e gives readers a taste of life during this turbulent time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRae Katherine Eighmey \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of numerous food history books, including \u003ci\u003eFood Will Win the War: Minnesota Crops, Cooks, and Conservation during World War I\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePotluck Paradise: Favorite Fare from Church and Community Cookbooks\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Historical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780873519083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 7.13w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Book Award - Finalist","brand":"Rae Katherine Eighmey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645498224796,"sku":"9780873519083","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_27b9866e-c037-4c3a-9b67-7a9e1d956fda.jpg?v=1603861265","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/soda-shop-salvation-recipes-and-stories-from-the-sweeter-side-of-prohibition-9780873519083","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
