Topic: Melba toast


  
 Melba toast. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
Melba toast is said to be derived from the crisp toast that was part of Dame Melba's diet during the year 1897, a year in which she was very ill. The hotel proprietor César Ritz supposedly named it in a conversation with Escoffier.
Perhaps the best known of such honors are Melba toast and peach Melba.
Auguste Escoffier, the famous chef, is thought to have had a hand in both.
