CONNECTING THE DOTS![]() Mark Twain complained constantly about the food as he traveled through Europe in 1879. To him, even the coffee and tea didn’t taste right. Twain was homesick for a tasty raccoon like those he ate in Missouri; for the fried sheep-head and croakers he ate in New Orleans as a Mississippi riverboat captain; for the big trout he caught in Lake Tahoe. At one point, Twain wrote down a menu of all the foods he wanted to eat immediately upon returning home. If held, this private dinner would have included 80 dishes!
