Lady Young's Cookery Book, produced in Hong Kong, year unknown (but prior to 1954), "in aid of St. John's Cathedral Michaelmas Fair." Featuring full-page rum ads and opening with five pages of cocktail recipes, it's as colonial as all get-out: Yorkshire pudding, a bunch of cod recipes (can you even get cod in Hong Kong?), the odd curry. Nothing vaguely Chinese, at least upon my first cursory inspection. Maybe Chinese food is forbidden during Michaelmas; I'll confess I don't know much about the Church of England's dietary restrictions.
