When we first signed up for Amazon Prime/Netflix, I basically watched ALL the British documentaries they have listed about the queen and the family (and there's a bunch!

I always thought that Coronation Chicken would be a boring old salad with chicken breast and mayonnaise, however it looks like the Queen was game for some exotic flavors like curry powder! I've recently come across some recipes from old newspaper clippings- Pat Nixon's 'Hot Chicken Salad' from 1958 and a white cake recipe to celebrate Ike's birthday in 1960. Might be time to bring some of these recipes to light, in order to counter-balance the influence from the 'other side of the pond'!Fran @ Gday Soufflehttp://www.gdaysouffle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-61882761988269810572018-12-31T09:21:26.770-05:002018-12-31T09:21:26.770-05:00Frank, from what I have learned from British reade...Frank, from what I have learned from British readers, it I see all about not having bad breath, which was my first guess.
