STARTER:    Egg Salad Sandwich with Tomato, Chives & Parsley

The egg salad sandwich likely originated in late 19th–early 20th century Europe and the U.S., when chopped boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise became popular. It spread quickly as a cheap, protein-rich lunch, especially in American delis and lunchboxes. Your version with tomato, chives, and parsley is a fresh modern twist.

MAIN COURSE:    Smoky Grilled Whole Chicken

The word “barbecue”—often linked to grilled chicken—comes from the Taíno word “barbacoa,” which described a wooden rack used by Caribbean Indigenous peoples to slowly cook meat over fire. Early explorers brought the idea to Europe, and it eventually evolved into the backyard grilling tradition we love today!

DESSERT:    Pumpkin Doughnuts

Pumpkin donuts combine warm spices, rich pumpkin puree, and a soft cake-like texture that feels like autumn in every bite. They’re a modern twist on old-world fried dough traditions, and their cozy flavor profile—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—has roots in centuries of festive baking.
