Yes, I know today's the 18th. Bear with me. I meant to blog this yesterday, but I was (funnily enough) out late at a yummy dinner of my own. Yesterday I read a description of a feast sent from home to a boarding school that, I felt sure, had inspired a young Enid Blyton to pick up her pen. ("I'll see you this feast, and raise you lashings of ginger-beer! Bring it on!")
Today, I read about a feast that might actually have been more staggering, so I decided on a new feature: the Feast of the Day. Here's yesterday's Feast of the Day, courtesy of Cathalina at Greycliff, a book I finished yesterday. Cathalina's roommate gets a box from home containing the following, which the roommate and Cathalina serve to ten guests: fried chicken, salad, blackberry jelly, birthday cake with candles, nut bread, pimento & cheese sandwiches, butter, rolls, fudge, divinity, "cream candies, made with fondant", blanched almonds and hickory nut meats, olives, pickles, oranges, apples, chocolates, and cocoa.
