[Sca-cooks] Caesar salad

[Huette von Ahrens]

According to the Oxford Companion to Food, Caesar
Salad was invented by Caesar Cardini in Tijuana,
Mexico in 1924.  The original six ingredients
were:  romainne lettuce, garlic, olive oil,
croutons, parmesan cheese and Worchestershire
sauce.  Anchovy was added later and without
Cardini's approval, as he thought the anchovy 
from the Worchestershire sauce was sufficient.
