Epigraph
Culinary history is a collection of quiestionable
happenings, recorded by persons of dubious
credibility; about events no one cares about
and people of no consequence.
-------anonymous twentieth-century compendium writer
Dedication
Gratitude (and all sorts of credit) should go
to my associate of a decade, Adele Rodgers,
to whom this little book is dedicated.
First words
I enjoy eating breakfast.
