Fictitious Dishes: An Album of Literature's Most Memorable Meals

by: Dinah Fried

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath...  'Then I tackled the avocado and crabmeat salad...Every Sunday my grandfather used to bring me an avocado pear hidden at the bottom of his briefcase under six soiled shirts and the Sunday comic.'

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett...   'Roasted eggs were a previously unknown luxury and very hot potatoes with salt and fresh butter in them were fit for a woodland king—besides being deliciously satisfying.'

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald… 'On buffet tables, garnished with glistening hors-d’oeuvre, spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin designs and pastry pigs and turkeys bewitched to a dark gold.'

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger… 'When I’m out somewhere, I generally just eat a Swiss cheese sandwich and a malted milk. It isn’t much, but you get quite a lot of vitamins in the malted milk. H. V. Caulfield. Holden Vitamin Caulfield.'

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll… 'Have some wine,’ the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea.'

We love our books and coffee... but we might be cheating on coffee with a hot cup of tea.
