Feast of the Day, 4 May

I realized that tomorrow's almost here, and I haven't posted Friday's Feast of the Day yet. For a change, there were several to choose from, but since they were all from the same book (The William Henry Letters) they all blur together.
Eight people eat this feast, contributed by a sailor named Tom. I should also add that in addition to the quotation below, the hostesses serve tea and twisted doughnuts. The feast is described in a letter: “Tom brought a good deal of sugar, all in white lumps, and a can of milk. He bought pies and jumbles and turnovers and ginger-snaps and egg-crackers and cake and bread at the bake-house, and butter and cheese and Bologna sausage - I can’t bear Bologna sausage - and some oranges, that he brought home from sea. And the sweetest jelly you ever saw! Don’t know what ‘t is made of, but they call it guava jelly, and comes in little boxes.”
