25 Strange Foods Shirley Temple Ate Behind the Gates of Her Brentwood Mansion

Lift the latch on the Brentwood gate and step into the kitchen before the trays go up. Twenty-five strange foods from Shirley Temple's table are waiting there, and the first is a bowl of milk that has set into a soft, trembling junket. The gate closes behind the visitor, the kitchen light stays on, and the countdown begins with the mildest dish of all. In this video: ✓ Junket set with rennet in the nursery ✓ Blancmange turned out of its mold ✓ A banana and mayonnaise sandwich ✓ Milk toast for a quiet supper ✓ Cod liver oil by the spoonful ✓ Marrow toast from a roasted bone ✓ Toad in the hole baked in batter ✓ Tapioca pudding with slippery pearls What looked strange from the visitor's chair was ordinary from the nursery. A bowl of junket, a spoon of cod liver oil, a sandwich with the crusts cut off: none of it was designed to impress anyone. That is the quiet surprise behind the gates. Which dish from that table would you bring back? What survived is the pattern: a child at a table, a spoon, and someone nearby who cared enough to make something simple.
