to know a little more about her. Thank you. Evelyn
Hi Evelyn,
"Sairey Gamp" is a character in a lesser-known Charles Dickens work entitled "Martin Chuzzlewit ".

Subject: Horn and Hardardt Wheatsworth Cereal
Is it possible that this cereal was actually Ralston Hot Wheat Cereal,
which is still available?
Hello Jack,
No, I don't think so. You see, there was actually a "Wheatsworth, Inc".
The company/bakery was located in New York and specialized in making whole
wheat products such as flour, crackers, biscuits, and cereal. They invented
"Milk Bone" dog biscuits and were bought out by Nabisco in 1931, giving
Nabisco the rights to the Wheatsworth name from 1931 on. Most Wheatsworth
branded products gradually disappeared, but Nabisco still sells "Wheatsworth
Crackers", which, I assume, are based on an original Wheatsworth product.
Milk-Bone dog biscuits are still going strong, but Nabisco sold the rights
to that product in 2006. Knowing all this makes me think that Horn & Hardart
actually bought their whole wheat cereal from the nearby Wheatsworth Company
in Manhattan.

I am looking for a recipe for a cake for which I have no name. I believe it is based
on a german chocolate cake mix, then drizzled with Eagle brand milk, chocolate ice
cream topping, caramel ice cream topping, heath bits, and cool whip however I am not
sure if these are all the toppings. Could you help me please.
Susan
