“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Irish Tea Bread

 

Ingredients

12 tbsp strong tea
1 lb mixed dried fruit
6 oz soft brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 oz butter (melted)
9 oz all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda



 

Preparation

Servings: 4

The mixed fruit can include raisins, currants, and any other kind of
dried fruit you like; chop any larger pieces down to about raisin
size. Place the tea, mixed fruit and sugar in a bowl; cover and leave
overnight. Stir in the egg and melted butter. Sieve the flour and the
bicarb together and fold them in. Line the bottom of a large loaf pan
with baking parchment, and brush the whole inside of the pan with
melted butter. Pour the mixture in and smooth the top. Bake in a
preheated oven (360 F) on the middle shelf for 1 1/2 hours. After
removing from the oven, leave in the pan for 2-3 minutes; then turn
out of pan and cool on a wire rack.
