Today's so-called exotic dish suggestion from the 365 Foreign Dishes, published in 1908, is what they call Halibut à la Toulonaise, in which fish is seasoned "highly with salt, pepper, cloves, lemon juice, and parsley" and breaded and fried and garnished with lemon slices and parsley; they suggest serving it with "a lettuce salad with French dressing."
