Which makes me wonder ... was she signing menus for her fans? Was signing a menu a symbolic act of the times? Now you understand why I constantly fall down internet holes.

Google has destroyed the ability to search for authoritative, accurate information, but today I learned (?๐Ÿค”) that Neapolitan ice-cream does in fact refer to Naples & Italians' love of layering flavours. According to Wikipedia, it used to be red (cherry), white (vanilla) & green (pistachio). #food ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Photo of a menu from the book "Menu". Green writing says "Victory Dinner, Feburary 22ndf, 1918, and a pescatarian menu written in French. On the top left side in cursive handwriting are the words "Mrs Despard's signature inside"

Reading "Menu" by Eve Marleau. Was curious who this๐Ÿ‘‡handwritten note referred to as book doesn't say. Think it was Charlotte Despard, novelist, activist, a leader of the Women's Freedom League, all-round boss. Suffragettes were celebrating the passage of Representation of the People Act #foodhistory

I like the use of the tomato (warm from the sun!) juice with the mayo. Sounds like a lovely, fresh but filling salad!

A devotee of Campbellโ€™s soup โ€“ he said it was his lunch every day for 20 years "because it always tasted the same" โ€“ American artist and film-maker Andy Warhol (born #onthisday 6 August 1928) immortalized the brand with his key work 'Campbellโ€™s Soup Cans' mirroring the uniformity of advertising ๐Ÿœ

close up of a lot of zucchinis, some with a dewy spray

A handwritten recipe and a pear. The recipe reads: 
Zucchini slice
360 gram (about 4 or 5) zucchini
1 onion
3 rashers bacon
1 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup s.r. flour
1/2 cup oil
5 eggs
Wash and grate zucchini. Chop onion and bacon. Add other ingredients. Mix well. Bake moderate oven 35-40 mins until brown on top. 

Note: Google says "A moderate oven typically refers to a temperature range of 177-191ยฐC (350-375ยฐF)."

August 8 is National Zucchini Day, or if you prefer, National Courgette Day! Remembered I have this amongst my mother-in-law's old recipes. She would have VERY MUCH appreciated this joke:
Why did Sean Connery throw away the zucchini?
Courgette was rotten.
