I recall being told that Stendhal was a fan of artichokes too.
And peas..
"Stendhal et les petits pois
On connaït le goût de Stendhal pour les épinards auxquels il resta aussi fidèle qu'à Saint-Simon, mais les spécialistes n'ont pas souligné l'importance, dans son oeuvre, des petits pois.
Dans son Journal, le 25 mars 1808 apparaît une notation importante : 'Remède souverain contre l'amour : manger des pois.' "
(Stendhal and peas
We know about Stendhal's love for spinach to which he remained as faithful as he did to Saint-Simon, but specialists have overlooked the importance in his work of peas.
In his diary, an important note appears on 25 March 1808: "A sovereign remedy against love: eat peas" )
However I am still up a different alley - what's the 'F' link with Ms Foster Jenkins?
