How times change

According to Alice B Toklas in her Cook Book, a "little known French dish suitable for the American and British Kitchen" is Frogs' Legs à la Parisienne...

I can't imagine Jamie Oliver getting away with suggesting that now.

Nor two different ways of cooking oysters, and a brace of squab offerings.

But I suspect where I used to live in south London cookery classes would find more pupils interested if they tried a "recipe from friends" and made Brian Guysen's Haschich Fudge ("which anyone could whip up on a rainy day")?
