British & Irish Women's Letters and Diaries; Jose Abeal or Garcia?

BRITISH & IRISH WOMEN'S LETTERS AND DIARIES

   I've been going through the North American version, but there is also a
new database of British & Irish Women's Letters and Diaries.
   I immediately plugged in that Nigella Lawson dish, "Toad-in-the-Hole."
Nothing came up!
   Who's writing these diaries--Bridget Jones?
   I'm far from exhausting my food queries, but the database results haven't
been all that great.  The first "macaroni" is in DIARY OF FRANCES BURNEY
D'ARBLEY, FEBRUARY 1772.  The first "ice cream" is in DIARY OF LADY MARY
CAMPBELL COKE, AUGUST 1767.  "Iced tea" does not appear at all.
   The "kebbeh": that I found in Isabel Burton's writings (Richard Burton's
wife) is here.
   Check out the database contents on the web.  I'll probably use it later
tonight, and let me know if you want anything searched.

JOSE ABEAL OR JOSE GARCIA?

   That sloppy "Sloppy Joe" article stated that the Havana bar was owned by
Jose Garcia.  As I posted here, one source it's Jose Abeal.
   A Google for "Jose Garcia" turns up the Florida Sloppy Joe's web site.  A
Google for "Jose Abeal" turns up only one hit, but it's a good one, from
1933.  Check it out at www.oldcubaart.com/TN-21.htm.  See Havana's Sloppy
Joe's as it was in its prime!
