What ho, what ho, what ho! I've got a question for you all.

Does anyone know about any cakes, confections, small dishes etc that were popular/common in the wonderful Jazz Age? I'm hosting a theme party (yes, I was watching J&W when I got the idea), and we need stuff to eat along with the champagne ^^ I'm keeping it all as period-appropriate as possible, so we'll all be wearing costumes and listening to Radio Dismuke and smoking cigarettes in long mouthpieces and what have you. (I might post photos) But I need ideas for the food/cakes, and maybe for decorations, if anyone's got a clue. I don't, sadly :S

Researchers/history geeks, come forth ^^

Jeeze-us. Everything sounds better in French, doesn't it?


A bit random, but, you know what the French call pubic lice? 'papillons d' amour'. 'Love butterflies'. They sound quite nice with a name like that, don't they?

Love butterflies do sound quite lovely, but pickled pork tongue and sweetbreads are on the ick side of things.

*smirk* Now *that* is a fantastic response.

Yeah, doesn't make me eager to get a French girlfriend, either.
