“Another article of cuisine that offends the bowels of unused Britons is garlic. Not uncommonly in southern climes an egg with a shell on is the only procurable animal food without garlic in it. Flatulence and looseness are the frequent results.” |
| Dr. T. K. Chambers, A Manuel of Diet In Health and Disease (1875) |
Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. |

Chilled melon in a lime syrup makes an elegant sweet course, served
with crme fraiche or thick set yogurt. Light, fresh, summery food.
Cut the melon in half and discard the seeds. Cut out the flesh with a
melon baller. Put the water and sugar into a pan and bring to the
boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil hard to a thick syrup,
and then dilute with the lime juice. Add the rind, then pour over the
melon balls and leave for 1 hour at room temperature. Chill
thoroughly before serving.
