    List of Ingredients











    Louisa Tetrazzini (1871-1940) was an Italian operatic soprano. Chicken Tetrazzini was created in her honor by an American chef in the early 20th century.

    The following information was contributed by Andrea Niosi:

    James Beard believes it [Chicken Tetrazzini] was created in San Francsico, as well as many others, but I find no documentation.
    My research shows one of two scenarios:

    1. Created by Chef Pavani at the Knickerbocker in NY around 1912 or
    2. Created by Chef Arbogast at the Palace Hotel in SF, CA around 1908.

    Recipe


    HUMOR...GUINNESS STOUT


    After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
    The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona."
    The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.

    The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser."
    The bartender gives him one.

    The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors."
    He gets it.

    The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke."
    The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.

    The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" and the Guinness president replies, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I."
