I'm looking at some 19th C. titles related to cooking and domestic life and I came across William Kitchiner's "Cook's Oracle", first published in England in 1817. I love his writing style and he seems to be a true foodie, vs. someone who is instructing on the pure drudgery of domestic life and work. Apparently his book was incredibly successful, going through several editions and selling over 70,000 by 1830. My question is regarding the sub-title of the J.&J. Harper version of the book. Subtitle appears as:
"The cook's oracle; and housekeeper's manual : Containing receipts for cookery, and directions for carving : Also, the art of composing the most simple and most highly finished broths, gravies, soups, sauces, store sauces, and flavouring essences; pastry, preserves, puddings, pickles, &c. : With a complete system of cookery for Catholic families. The quantity of each article is accurately stated by weight and measure; being the result of actual experiments instituted in the kitchen of William Kitchiner, M.D. / Adapted to the American public by a medical gentleman ; From the last London edition. -- Harper's stereotype edition."
I haven't read through the entire book yet but my question is about the focus on Catholic families. I'm wondering if the Harpers, or perhaps Mr. Kitchiner, saw a new market for the book and added a chapter as that language does not appear on earlier versions published in England or the U.S. I will poke around more but wondered if anyone out there (hallo!!!) had any more information to add. Or maybe all his editions included this information but the Harper Bros. called it out?
Anyway, I'm enjoying the read and am delighted by his enthusiasm and joie de vivre on the subject. Also, I understand that he was the first to document or publish the recipe for the fried potato crisp (chip here in the U.S.) and that makes me forever a fan and beholden to him. William Kitchiner: you had me at potato crisp!

Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
