1956 was the first time that America sent a team to Frankfurt to compete in the Culinary Olympics.
It would seem that at this time it was the practice to award medals for Gold and Silver and not team placements.
The following are published results:
U.S.Team Silver Cup,Grand Prize for the Exhibition.
1st Prizes: Germany; France; England; Denmark; Holland; Belgium; Switzerland; Italy; Hungary.
