Yum!

I came across an article in an old newspaper the other day from 1927. It detailed the bizarre culinary delights of a delicatessen in Piccadilly including 9 inch sea slugs for making soup, shark fins and balachaung (rotting fish) for curries.

My favourite thing about the article though was the writer’s utter wonderment at the existence of Popadoms, which he quaintly described as a potato cake eaten with curry. heh!

They even had a sign declaring, “Smoked reindeer tongues imported from Lapland. Provides a new dainty for your delight!”

Heston Blumenthal eat your heart out.!
