Holiday meals aren't what they used to be when my mother was alive. Back then, though my family wouldn't have thought it that weird, some might have. Scalloped oysters. That recipe could have dated back very far. Before my maternal great grandmother, at least. Uses Original Trenton Oyster Crackers (OTC crackers) which are different than most other oyster crackers used in the US. OTC crackers date back to 1847. It's impossible to find them now, though. I am sure the original recipe for this dish even predates OTCs. I believe that I am the only person who knows how to make my mother's family recipe for this. My siblings likely don't. It will die with me.
