WALDORF SALAD

     The OED has "Waldorf salad" from 1911, cited in the FLOWER CITY COOK
BOOK (Rochester, NY).  Waldorf salad comes from the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, in
New York, NY.
     THE excellent LONE STAR COOK BOOK (Dallas, TX, 1901) has "Waldorf Salad"
on page 36.  A "Manhattan Salad" is on page 37.

THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING

     In the ADS-L archives for 28 March 1995, Lynn Murphy asked about
"Thousand Island Dressing and S'mores."  (See ADS-L archive for S'mores.)
     The OED's earliest citation is a 1916 newspaper from Victoria, British
Columbia--pretty far away from the Thousand Islands of upstate New York.
     THE CLUB HOUSE COOK BOOK (Rochester, NY, 1914) has "Thousand Island
Salad Dressing" on page 32.

HAMBURGER (continued)

     The hamburger sandwich was of course NOT invented at the 1904 World's
Fair in St. Louis.  This is from DIET IN ILLNESS AND CONVALESCENCE (1899) by
Alice Worthington Winthrop, pp. 187-188:

     A BEEF SANDWICH
     Scrape very fine two or three table-spoonfuls of fresh, juicy, tender,
uncooked beef; season it slightly with pepper and salt; spread it between two
thin slices of slightly buttered bread, cut it neatly into little diamonds,
and serve.

    "Hamburger Steak" is in METROPOLITAN CLUB COOK BOOK, NEW YORK CITY
(1901), pg. 44, but I'll have more citations as the NYPL puts its menus
online.

ICED TEA (continued)

     More proof that "iced tea" wasn't invented at the 1904 St. Louis World's
Fair is in DIET IN ILLNESS AND CONVALESCENCE (1899) by Alive Worthington
Winthrop, pg. 18, "Iced Water and Iced Tea."
