To a large extent, I "figger" you're right! Certainly a
fair number of gourmet dishes have been named for famous
opera singers. "Peach Melba", "Melba toast", "spaghetti
Caruso", are all I can think of at the moment, but there are
many, many more. Since many performers are also gourmet
cooks, there have even been cookbooks published featuring
the "favorite" recipes of various stars of both classical
and popular music.
