Today we’re cracking open a copy of the 1988 Montgomery County Fair Cookbook.  The Montgomery County Fair’s roots date all the way back to 1945.  While we missed out on the pig racing and Tilt-a-Whirls this summer, let’s see if we can capture a little bit of that county fair nostalgia with these vintage recipes!

The book features classics such as Grandma Butler’s Apple Pie, as well as more dated recipes like Mayo Rolls & Tuna Toastees.  In this article we’ll be sharing two of the Moco recipes found inside.
