RABBITS' EARS, LOST EGGS, WINDBAGS

   A further search of "Black Forest Cake" turned up nothing in LUCHOW'S GERMAN COOKBOOK (1952) by Leonard Mitchell.
   Louis Untermeyer's BLUE RHINE, BLACK FOREST (1930) is a fabulous book, and it has a large lexicon on German food names at the end.  Again, I didn't see "Black Forest Cake" in a place where it should have been.  I didn't have time to copy this book and mistakenly thought Untermeyer's book would be at NYU.  I'll post it soon enough.
   "Black Forest Cake" isn't in the following, book, either, but here are a few items (with Google hits).

EEL OF FORTUNE

   Today is the last day for the French restaurant La Caravelle, joining Lutece, Lespinasse, and La Cote Basque to bite the dust in NYC.
   I've never eaten at any of them--just too expensive, and I make no money.  I joked to friends that I'd finally go to the French restaurant "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS" sale, but none of these New York City restaurants had one.
   Here's the menu item of the day, from FAAN (Asian Fusion), 404 6th Avenue, New York, www.faanonline.com:

Special Rolls:
EEL OF FORTUNE--Crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, lettuce and tomato topped with toasted eel  $15.95
