Or Martita Hunt. David Niven's autobiography Blessings In Disguise recounts la Hunt throwing a snitfit over being unable to obtain six pounds of butter in which to cook one chicken. This in immediately postwar England, at that -- food rationing.

Neither David nor Primula ever got over their astonishment either.

Nor, for that matter, the recipe. Assuming the details are accurately remembered.
