They are free to read online or can be ordered in printed form at a modest price. It's great fun browsing the long lists of titles and looking for interesting bits of trivia in the hundred upon hundreds of antique books they have.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thought you'd be interested, if you weren't already signed up for Foodsville.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-89423635241944554732008-03-26T07:40:00.000+10:002008-03-26T07:40:00.000+10:00Alas, no students looking for projects.

Unfortunately, what I posted is what I found. I would love the original wording - and if i find it I will be calling on your expertise. I have not spent any time looking for any more on the topic - you dont have a student looking for a project, do you???The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-75695159540509036692008-03-25T17:13:00.000+10:002008-03-25T17:13:00.000+10:00I can possibly shed light if I have the untranslat...I can possibly shed light if I have the untranslated menu or at least a date for the translation.

Excellent bedtime reading (except that it is very heavy and you need an extra cushion to put between it and one's lap).Lidianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719859575624565776noreply@blogger.com
