In terms of definition: "Mystery" also used to refer to a skill of a working trade, not the Sherlock Holmes sort of mystery. I think when it comes to calling this "mystery," It might refer to the fact that this was tested by the people who work in kitchens, testing and trying things out at work and just deciding: this is the "chef's dish" for you as though to say this is something they came up with and want you to give it a go.

My guess is Ketchup 100 years ago was considerably less sweat than it is now. American paletts have grown accustomed to sugar and more has been added to such condiments over the years... in which I'd think that when this dish was properly prepared 100 years ago, it was far less sweet, and I'd also guess 1 slice of onion means a slice of onion chopped, but I could be wrong.

It was a "southern" version of something called "papara" they did in Greece and Turkey with dry bread. It could be made with milk and butter or yogurt, and sweet with honey or savory with cheese or eggs. It was basically a tasty way to avoid wasting bread that had gone stale. There are even meat versions.

This was fun. Old recipes are sometimes vaguely written, such as the slice of onion. Not exactly clear regarding the amount. And ketchup perhaps was different in 1911. Canned shrimp as well. Who knows what that was like in 1911. And things were sometimes assumed, like adding salt old pepper. I have a couple of these really old booklets that I got from my mother. I should try some things in them just for fun.

I think I would have gone with Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste instead of ketchup. Ketchup is usually too sweet for my liking.

The restaurant where I work has something vaguely similar. I’d add a bit of horseradish and some shredded Parmesan cheese. Lastly I’d cook it in the oven so it can get nice and bubbly and brown the cheese.

You're right in that early forms of katchup weren't tomato based, and I think one of the first/popular forms were concentrated mushroom goop. And in this context, it sort of makes sense. I imagine a shroom-based form of that being a sort of cream-of-mushroom soup, with rice, and shrimp/seafood added as a sort of shrimp bisque. *THAT* sounds incredible...

By the 20th century, ketchup was all tomato based. Mushroom ketchup and walnut ketchup were well before 1911, and the tomato version was by far the most popular by this time.

a VERY interesting dish, its difficult to research foods from over 100 yrs ago, like Glen from glen and friends says foods change over the years, sometimes subtly other times in a big way. (paraphrased). I think the onion was the oddest part of the recipe but I can totally see making this with a few small modifications..

I think by 1911 tomato ketchup was the standard. Heinz pretty much owned the market.

Chances are the shrimp available in 1911 were fresh from the local fish monger. Katsup or Catsup (the differences are inconsequential), Katsup sauce was originally a fermented fish sauce, which may have lead to Worstershire sauce, and may have contained anchovies, mushrooms, walnuts, oysters and onions. Tomatos and sugar were an incarnation much later and devised to suit the American palette.

I know times change and with them descriptions change. I've got to imagine that the recipe writer meant "one thinly sliced onion."
