They use Vinegar and Lime to "cook" the fish.....nicely presented on the purple cabbage leaf.
Also- no typical melange of seafoods- just fish.

These 7 windows were "found" in the basement of a building being renovated that once housed a Synagogue in the 1950's and -'60's in what is now- The Mayne Stage Theatre- on Morse near The El Tracks.Interestingly enough- the person involved in that renovation had an interest in a small Reform Congregation on Chicago's Far North Side- Emanuel, located on Sheridan Road.After my friend Sharon rehabilitated these windows (which are alleged to have originally been from a previous Congregations Synagogue located in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood) and strengthened them from years of neglect- I was asked to develop a frame and mounting system, whereby they could be placed within a Custom Built Wooden Window Fenestration- and held in place to be in the same plane as the Window Wall- and align vertically.I came up with these "lollipops"- fabricated from Rolled Rings of a special (unequal legs) sized Angle Iron- and another ring of Cold-Rolled Square Bar- rolled to perfectly "mate" with the "INNER" diameter of that angle- to sandwich- or gently "trap" these gorgeous windows and allow the sun to shine through them.

The metalwork had to be "precise"- and slightly "real" in finish to match w/the color of the leading in the stained glass.
