Here is a recipe for perfection salad from a 1905 (Knox Gelatine) book titled ‘Dainty Desserts for Dainty People’.
And here, for dainty people, is the downloadable text of the entire book.
Everything that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment.
Shakespeare: Sonnet 15, 1.1
The iconic Perfection Salad has officially entered the New Year! Will it ever get swept away I wonder?
Never.
Thank goodness:)
c’est chic
It definitely could become the next chic thing, Kristen.
Scott Peacock (a chic sort of chef in a certain sort of way) got into jello salads a little while ago as it notes in this story. I can see them making a comeback.
Particularly if combined with the trappings of molecular gastronomy.
The saying could be: “Jello – it’s not cheap any more.”
That’s from my flickr site. There are more scary food images there.
There absolutely are, Amy!
I’ve enjoyed many of your images on flickr – this one was my favorite though, I think. I always hope that readers take advantage of clicking on the photos posted here to go through to the source – such wonderful things to see.
Very nice to have you stop by!
