Historical Personage Flavors

Post #1 - May 31st, 2016, 2:02 pmIn my travels, I've come across a couple of flavors specific to a famous personage:
- Mozart - in Vienna, this is the combination of chocolate and pistachio paste (like marzipan)
- Wilhelmina - across the Netherlands, this is a pastille-type peppermint about twice the diameter of an Altoid
What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #9 - June 1st, 2016, 12:55 pmEggs Sardou, oysters Bienville and Rockefeller, beef Stroganoff and Wellington, Bismarck (herring and pastry), Kaiser rolls, veal Oscar, General Tso, KungPao, and DongPo . . . .
Sandwich.
If you include restaurateurs/ restaurants and (otherwise not famous) customers you really blow up the list (DeJonhge, Delmonico, Iskender, Cobb, Benedict, a la King).

LOL -- remembering D.B. Kaplan -- loved their menu. Ike and Tina Tuna, Cry me a Liver, The Italian Scallion, Kahlua Bankhead, Chive Turkey, A Brisket A Basket, The Breadless Horseman -- if they couldn't make it amusing, I don't think it was on the menu."All great change in America begins at the dinner table."
