Cuisine inspired by the wife of a King on Lake Worth-Lantana tour


By Traci Miller
Tour Ambassador

Beautiful artwork, food prepared with love, healthy alkaline-filled drinks, and the rich history of it all.  On Saturday, February 9, 2013, this was the experience of the patrons of the “Taste History CulinaryTours” of historic Lake Worth Lantana, presented by the Museum of Lifestyle andFashion History. 
Sabal House Bed & Breakfast in Lake Worth, Florida
 This week features Sabal Palm House, a Bed and Breakfast Inn, whose history dates back to 1936.  The tour guests were not only introduced to the rooms of this historic jewel, but were also served White Chocolate scones; whose history dates back to 1513, and flour via the Romans circa 9000 BC.  The scones accompanied a Hibiscus Tea, with tea being indigenous to Burma (Southeast Asia), popularized by the Dutch East India Company, and made a staple by Catherine Braganza in 1660, wife of King Charles II. Both sweet treats were served to the guests of the Sabal Palm House. Tour Guests also visited The Sugarcane Lady at Lake Worth’s Famers Market to taste pure sugar cane juice, George’s Meat Market for Beef Stroganoff, Mother Earth’s Cafe for Black bean burger salad with cilantro dressing, tortillas at the Tortilleria; and to the LULA arts district to visit Lake Worth Art League Gallery and Clay, Glass, Metal, Stone.
