Dealer Notes
A curious little book dealing with international diplomacy, good manners, love of England and brussel sprouts! Who would have thought that the reason, or one of the reasons, America was so reluctant to enter the Second World War was their horror of facing the English custom of boiling Brussel Sprouts! The author includes 23 ways of cooking Brussel Sprouts the American Way. God Bless her!
