“Food, culture, people, and landscape are all absolutely inseparable”*…
Further, in a fashion, to yesterday’s post: Stephen Lurie and our friends at The Pudding with an elegant and insightful looks at what America’s earliest restaurants can teach us about America…
The New York Public Library’s Buttolph Collection of menus, dated 1880-1920, captures the emergence of modern restaurant dining…
… A menu describes what a reataurant serves– but a menu also describes who is being served. [Collectively] they refect the class, gender, political, technological, and environmental shifts of history.
The thousands of menus in this collection document a period of fundamental transformation– and the birth of the society and the restaurant we know today.
I’ve searched through the archive to tell you that story in ten dishes. Your table is ready– right this way…
Restaurant dining in America was once an Imitation: wannabe aristocrats attempting French feasting. But as the 19th became the 20th century, the American middle class and the true American resaturant emerged: diverse, accessible, opinionated… and at times, chaotic.
From Bisque d’Ecrevisses and Celery in a Crystal Celery Vase through “cosmopolitan” and “ethnic” food to Potatoes O’Brien Au Gratin and Baked Alaska, the tasty (and illuminating) tale of dining out in America: “A History of Menus is a Menu of History,” from @luriethereal.bsky.social and @pudding.cool.

As we dig in, we might send tasty birthday greetings to a man who has built a culinary domain that epitomizes (in its scale, at least one huge quadrant of) the current state of the restaurant business: Wolfgang Puck; he was born on this date in 1949. He made his name with Spago restaurant in Los Angeles in 1982. He now has more than 20 fine dining restaurants and dozens of pizza bars, bistros, cafes, airport restaurants, express outlets, catering services, cultural center cafes; he sells gourmet foods, cookware, and appliances; and he runs a catering empire (that has catered he official Academy Awards Governors Ball every year since 1994).

Pages such as <https://www.freebsd.org/community> can not be reached through the hamburger.
When the hamburger menu is forced: the Community submenu can not load the Community page. Other submenu headings may be similarly bugged.
Without the hamburger, with Community as a menu (not a submenu): a click on the menu item for Community does work.
@thismarkp sorry for not noticing this sooner.
Cc @pauamma only because I vaguely remember you commenting about top level menu behaviours long ago (maybe three or four years ago in Bugzilla).

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 118: Reading Menus as History
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2637411/What’s on the menu? A lot, it turns out, and we’re not just talking about hors d’oeuvres and tasting combos. From gravy stains to hand-written notes, menus are an important source of information about cultural histories, social patterns, and human migration.
This episode considers menus as historical records. Alexia Moyer shares excerpts of meal planning from Northern Cookbook, and guest Koby Song-Nichols explains his 4-part methodology for menu analysis, discussed in “Can Historians Order off the Menu?” from Canadian Food Studies. (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v11i2.682).
And, serving up a scoopful of DFS afters, Anson Hunt weighs in with his perspective on Koby’s article and the ways that menus bridge conversations between front, back, and middle of house.

When I went to the IHOP website some time last year, the menu was fully accessible. Then, they changed it, and I had to use an old version from the Way Back Machine. Now, I went to the modern site again, and they are still inaccessible. After searching several sites, I finally found one that had the pdf. But I would need to open my Windows 7 virtual machine, open Openbook (ocr scanning software), load the pdf, convert it, and only then could I start reading the actual menu. Of course, I would also need to use the find command to get to the various sections, since it's not html and I can't just click on a link or go to the various headings, so that would take more time (usually, the last doesn't bother me, but it just adds more inconvenience here). So I just settled for a sampler, because my parents don't have all day to either read the menu and have me choose, or sit and wait for me to do all of the above. This whole thing took only a few minutes when the actual site was accessible. Am I missing something here, perhaps with using NVDA?

CW: Thanksgiving Space Menu Advice for the Perplexed
As my American friends contemplate their Thanksgiving plans, many of which undoubtably involve space-themed menus, the question arises: do I offer my vegan guests the comet or the asteroid side?
Comet, without question, as the asteroid is a little meteor.

A gutful of crispy processed foods, pesticides and microplastics
In every eatery/cafe on the mid north coast of NSW one can observe the ritualistic consumption of the popular American sandwich, the BLT or any other dish with bacon. Customers devour the processed food and consistently leave the vegetable 'decoration' behind. A diet of ultra-processed foods, pesticides (banned elsewhere) and microplastics might contributing to the increase in early-onset bowel cancer.
Australia’s bowel cancer rates are world’s highest for under-50s.
