And spaghetti and meatballs sound like a fine old birthday dinner to me. They did indeed dine well while in the Antarctic. We have several menus at home from the 1902 expedition and they sound delicious! I'll dig them out so I can send you some mouth watering examples. They always seems to have a lovely dessert. It reminds me of my great-grandfather Hare, he used to have a gavel at the dinner table, would hit it twice and then everyone at the table would say AMEN. Is that an old naval tradition from the British Antarctic Expeditions perhaps? We always thought it was :-) Love that cake! And spaghetti and meatballs sound like a fine old birthday dinner to me.
