Food quiz 2

4. Who gave a dinner party where he served, "Caviare, turtle soup, homard newburg, perdrix aux choux, asparagus, blackberry ice, mushrooms, sherry, Mumm 1911, light port, 1875 brandy"?

5. Whose host urged him, "Don't spare the caviare," "Eat your fill of the whitebait," "And when the porterhouse steak comes along, wade into it"?

6. Who was astonished to have, "A quite epicurean little cold supper laid out ... There were a couple of brace of cold woodcock, a pheasant, a pate de foie gras pie with a group of ancient and cobwebby bottles."
