The menu that wasn't served. "Non servi".
Dinner menu to honour King Alexander of Yugoslavia's official visit to France. He was assassinated that very day. 1934.
I am intrigued by the dishes, so I looked them up. Maybe, who knows, I'll throw a dinner party one day, and so might you.
Do you dare to serve the meal fit for a dead King?
