This dish was once used as a way of hiding other contraband food items. Although one can be fooled by the colour not really matching its name, it was actually named after the people who originally created it. What is it, and who enjoyed the forbidden nosh?

You are talking about a "chartreuse," a dish of layered vegetables cooked in a bain marie and possibly created by Carthusian monks. According to this site, meats forbidden to the austere brothers might be hidden within the dish. http://www.foodreference.com/html/fchartreusefood.html Jun 30 05, 11:47 AM

This island has been known by two other names besides the one it is called today. It was once named after pirates who were hung there, and then the Dutch named it after an aphrodisiac. Later on, a guy bought it and named it after himself. Where is it? Actually, not that it makes much difference in finding the answer, but the aphrodisiac was first, then the unfortunate pirates. A certain illiterate Spanish conquistador was interested in them. According to mythology a girl who was in love supposedly once turned into one, although a poem by a Roman poet stated she actually turned into something much similar. What are they, who was the conquistador, and the poet, and how is a mathematical sequence incorporated with them? Two men and a god travelled to a far away land and collected items of value to bring home. No one has been back since although there are still lots of valuable items to bring back. Who were these men? When were Post-Its created and who created them? Do they still sell like they used to?
