I'm revising a story set in an alternate world where the Americas haven't been formally discovered or settled by Europeans, set in about the 1920s. Before peanuts and potato chips, what did rural pubs offer as pub snacks? My MC needs to drink another guy under the table without the guy realizing what's happening, so MC's going to eat in advance and only offer the other man pub snacks so he'll get drunk faster. I just don't know what to serve him.
Thanks! Hmm, I could probably use some information about typical pub drinks too, pre-brand-name days. My MC drinks bitters, but I don't know if that's how it'd be termed. Thanks! Oh, and would there be a milder drink that he could switch to that would keep him from getting tipsy as fast as his drinking partner?
ETA: I used pickled eggs and pretzels--does that sound right?
