We'll Be Skipping the Boiled Calves Head

My publicist, Dulcinea Hawksworth, assured me yesterday that any Bryony events that include food will only feature eye and palate-pleasing food, so boiled calves head probably will not make the menu.

The challenge will be making the dishes appear authentically Victorian without duplicating the less appealing meals served up at Simons Mansion, post-concert receptions, and balls. I think that's where we will have to rely on Melissa's judgment here, for who better to evaluate an item's appropriateness than Bryony's main character, since she's known both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries?

Considering Melissa's imaginary, Dulcinea might have trouble reaching our heroine for comment. Anyone out there volunteering to be taste-testers?
