This delicious oyster casserole is another recipe from the 1800's. Uncle Archie (my grandmother's uncle) was supposedly a great cook because he had travelled the world, learning new ways to cook food, while working for the U.S. Federal Government. He may have been a little eccentric, but people always enjoyed his Southern hospitality when it included sterling silverware, fine crystal, and his meals made to perfection! I am sure the rich and/or famous of yesteryear enjoyed feasting on this oyster casserole.
