Did all of them contain "herb"?

Most of us need to follow a recipe... the first time, at the very
least.

Here's a good start

FYI: I've never used kirsch and haven't missed it.

No, not at all. The book is actually a memoir/chronicle of her life with
Gertrude Stein, and not just a cookbook. It covers many of the literati
and artists of the day, and others who populated their salon. Menus and
recipes of meals served there are detailed. The famous or infamous recipe
was actual "Haschich Fudge", a mixture of fruit, nuts, spices, and cannibus
sativa. Many consider the book a great read. Several other books
followed, but it is arguably considered the best of the lot.

Stein herself published her own memoirs under the title "The Autobiography
of Alice B. Toklas. It's also a fascinating read. Toklas' book was
published years later after Stein's death.

There was a critically acclaimed play entitled "Gertrude Stein, Gertrude
Stein, Gertrude Stein". It was a one woman show, at least initially
starring Pat Carroll, and I enjoyed seeing it at The Cleveland Playhouse.

The recipe sounds quite good and the lemon juice is a good idea. Both
corn starch and flour work quite well and I have tried the various
flavorings with enjoyment. I notice that the recipe does suggest Kirsch
and I'd agree that it is not essential but how can you know you don't
miss it until you try it?

Let's put it this way, I don't keep Kirsch on hand, haven't thought
about buying an airplane bottle of it (if I ever had the chance) and
wouldn't buy a big bottle of hooch just to use a tablespoon or so of
it.

That's a valid point but there are other uses for Kirsch than fondue. It
goes particularly well sprinkled on fresh fruits like peaches,
strawberries and raspberries

My Dad loved Tab. I really disliked it.

When we went camping, they stocked up on Tab and Diet Shasta (my dad was
diabetic). They would keep it in the camper and it would be nice and warm.
When we got tired of warm water, we would occasionally drink some of the
soda, but only in times of dire thirst.

They still make them! I got a few when I went to the local 'IMAX
Theater and Science Center' where they had them for sale.

Here's a website for ordering them online:

Personally though....they were not as good as I remember them. They
seemed to taste less good now that I'm an old fuddy duddy...Or they've
changed the recipe (which they said they didn't!).
