This week we present another gem from the Society's Kemble Collection, a bill of fare for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's Steamer Sonora, dated circa 1858. The carnivorous traveler could choose from a variety of boiled, fried, stewed, and roasted meats—including beef, pork, chicken, ham, mutton, tongue, kidneys, and pigs' heads. The menu was printed by the Excelsior Steam Presses in San Francisco.
