A recent find in the East were four Cafe' Royale spoons from New Orleanes. There is a little recipe card in the box with instructions for making this popular coffee drink from the 1960's. This is before the day of Starbucks remember! Of course, the alcohol content may keep it from our favorite coffee shop for a while.
I remember my mother's cousin serving Cafe' Royale at Christmas time but of course, this was in Tennessee. Cognac was not the ingredient of flavor...good ole Tennessee whiskey was with the initials of J.D. Surprised? Well, if you grew up in the home state of J.D. you would know that whatever your drink request was, that's what you most likely would get!
The card with these little spoons states that they were sold exclusively at Coleman E. Adler and Sons Jewelers in New Orleans. An interesting find.
