Ok, I'll rephrase the question: When did aluminium foil become more widely 
used in domestic kitchens vs foil of other metals (such as tin)?

*sigh* That's what I get for leaving a straight line to Master A... really, 
I left some open room of the plate, was careful with portions, didn't get 
seconds, etc. Ok, I had more than one piece of pie, but I knew what went 
into those pies, having made most of them myself. And I skipped the eggnog.

Think I'll blame it on excess of birthdays. Makes as much sense as anything...
