Bite Notes

  • Pair Get in Trouble with a slice of Florida Key Lime Pie, available on our website. You can tell from the state of the copy pictured that it's a favorite recipe in Carrie's family. For a less sweet pie, use 3/4 cup of sugar instead of a full cup. Carrie recommends Nellie & Joe's key lime juice, which you can usually find at Kroger. The pie is also great when served frozen. 
  • The kolaches mentioned in My Ántonia are still enjoyed in areas of the United States where Czech immigrants settled. Read more about the history of this Czech pastry and find a recipe on toriavey.com.
  • Try the recipe from the website Caroline's Cooking for the Trinidadian snack Pineapple Chow. It's just like the dish Tommy Tester enjoyed at the Victoria Society.
  • Enjoy this easy recipe for the New England staple the Fluffernutter sandwich as you relish each story in 20th Century Ghosts by New England’s very own Joe Hill. 
  • Try the Jabberwock cocktail from the Savoy Cocktail Book in honor of the Vorpal's Special that Tuesday Next orders in The Eyre Affair.
