The 1920s saw the making of the american cuisine which was more homogenous than ever before.

Here you would be able to buy the alcohol cheaply. Some foods even included alcoholic beverages in them such as fruit cake and welsh rabbit stew in some of the cook books used back then. Also in the speakeasies, it wasn’t just alcohol that you could go and buy and drink but there were also the same foods that you would make in an average household back
