What are you having for your dinner? This man - from Clapham - is very hungry. Anyone know why he's hungry and what's going on in Clapham?

Biscuit or bun with your tea?
Florrie Forde preferred doughnuts with jam. This 1924 “comedy chorus song of the year” was personalised by the owner of this sheet music, now in our archive.

The menu shows how French cuisine remained the height of fashion & sophistication. How many oysters and turbot were consumed at such fancy Music Hall events, washed down by consommé, a sorbet grenade & a 'Bombe Alexandra'?

Is it too early for a champagne tipple?
“Champagne Charlie” (1866) earned George Leybourne his famous nickname. Sadly, Charlie drank more than he sang — Leybourne died at just 42.

Another entry from Larry's autograph book (my g-grandfather) for #MusicHallVarietyDay on a Food & Drink theme - The Boganny Troupe of acrobats and their highly successful LUNATIC BAKERS sketch. This dates from an appearance at the Leeds Empire (now Leeds Grand Theatre) in March 1916

An Oxford Charmer for me, perhaps a Maiden's Blush for you? What's your choice of tipple from the American Buffet at the Oxford Music Hall, 1877? Have we time for supper? #MusicHallVarietyDay #MHVD2025 #FoodAndDrink

Leslie Sarony, the undisputed king of the nonsense song was prolific on the subject of #FoodandDrink. He wrote catchy tunes about fish, cucumber, cheese, pubs, sausages, cake and LARD. In 1928 he gave us ‘Don’t Be Cruel to a Vegetbuel’. Listen here:
