I didn't see anything strange there either. And I would eat quite a lot of
those things.

The Traditional English Breakfast looks wonderful. I might substitute
Hashbrown Potatoes for the pork'nbeans.

Why vary when I've nailed it? Eating my sweet beans and rice with chopped ham right now, and it's delish! I'll have a mango for dessert too!

I thought most of the food sounded quite good, better than I expected.

Quite modern in fact - but fruit rissoles stumped me. Had to find a
recipe for that. http://www.godecookery.com/mtrans/mtrans13.htm

To be fair, they are mostly menus from fairly pretentious restaurants
(not everyday food), however that Fricassee of Calf's Feet was truly
gag worthy.

The text ("One tendency that has almost totally vanished, for example,
was the practice of eating plates of raw vegetables as an appetizer.
For much of the 1900s, restaurant-goers would start their meal with
plate of celery, radishes and olives") did remind me of my
grandparents. When I was a child, they accompanied every lunch and
dinner with a plate of raw carrot and celery sticks - radishes in
season. No olives that I can remember, but maybe olives were winter
fare and I don't remember.

Considering our roots, American food is essentially just a variation
of English food - with a few other cultures thrown in for good
measure.

Nothing wrong with calves feet. I wish I could get them from my otherwise amazing butcher. They are a great source of gelatin, back then known as aspic.

Raw vegetables as an appetizer has certainly not disappeared, very popular in France.

Well, there's salad. Raw vegetables in salad with a dressing is fine
for me.

We have a chain here called Bob's Burger and Brew. One of their appetizers
is a Snack Veggy Trio. Three kinds of raw veggies with dressing of your
choice for dipping. That, for me, is the appeal of the place. Yeah, I know
I can eat those things at home. But if I have to go out... Works for me.

It is? I have been to France four times over the last 20 years and I
have seen lots of menus and had lots of appetizers. I don't recall ever
seeing raw vegetables as an appetizer. The closest I have seen to that
was a carrot salad that was heavy on garlic and pepper.

LOL. I didn't eat it all at the same meal, it was spread across two
centuries.

We had that too. Usually for lunch. Pickles too. We didn't have olives
all the time. They were mainly for holidays or company but once in a while
for regular meals. I wonder why? When we did have them, they were
rationed. We were each allowed 5 black and 5 green. No more. Were olives
insanely expensive in those days are something? Those particular types
aren't now although there are some expensive olives.

We ate at a restaurant in Wisconsin and I saw some metal things on many of
the tables. They had a handle at the top and a lot of little bowls in them
of various things. I can't remember now what all was in there but there
were pickles, olives, raw veggies and maybe a coleslaw or pea salad or
something like that. I hadn't even looked at the menu yet but I told the
waitress that my daughter and I wanted to share one of those for sure. What
I didn't realize was that every table got one for no charge. She just kind
of looked at me weirdly, brought the two of us one and another one for my
husband. We then made the mistake of ordering meals. I think I just
ordered one thing for Angela and I to share but the portions were huge! We
got a basket of assorted breads for free too. And a free dessert was
included which we declined. Seriously, with all of that food we didn't even
*need* a meal. I think my husband made the mistake of ordering some sort of
appetizer as well. We just kind of sat there going... OMG! We couldn't
really take the leftovers with us either because we were in a motel with no
fridge. That was one of the better meals we ever ate though.

Aha, it's a brand name - not the flower. I thought it was a powder
used to mimic the color of saffron, the way safflower and turmeric do.
