Food Ideas
ToffeeQuote: She decided as there was not anything else to do
she had better go and maketoffee; but she felt hot, and not very
much like eating toffee, and what is the fun ofmaking toffee unless
you want to eat it. She sat down on the landing of the second
floor
and sniffed and thought how beastly colds were.
Ginger drinkQuote: Come in. Ive got a lovely fire, and Ill lend
you a large silk handkerchief, and Illgive you some ginger drink
which is doing me good.The way its described, its probably ginger
tea, but this can be too spicy for somepeople. Im recommending
ginger ale for convenience sake.
British Biscuits, Vienna cakes (Sachertorte cupcakes)Quote:
There was a little break of ten minutes in the middle of the
morning when milkand biscuits were brought in; but after a day or
two they were never eaten or drunk.Both doctors had lovely ideas
about the sort of things to have in the middle of lessons -a meal
they called a beaver. They took turns to get it ready. Sometimes it
was chocolatewith cream on it, and sometimes Doctor Jakes' ginger
drink, and once it was ice-creamsoda; and the things to eat were
never the same: queer biscuits, little ones from Japanwith delicate
flowers painted on them in sugar, cakes from Vienna, and
specialties ofdifferent kinds from all over England.
Sachertorte is the most famous cake from Vienna. It was
originally invented by FranzSacher in 1832 for Prince Wenzel von
Matternich at the Hotel Sacher in Vienna. It isone of the most
famous Viennese culinary specialties.
