Melba Toast Day |
Auguste Escoffier was a chef at The Savoy Hotel in London during the 1890s. The Australian opera singer, Nellie Melba, was staying at the hotel and watching her weight. Noticing that she always ordered toast, he grilled a piece of toast, split it in half, grilled it again and named it "Melba Toast". Dieters have been eating it ever since. |
