Lemon Curd Serendipity

Doing a little digging on Lemon Curd so that I can make tarts and I discover that lemon curd was originally a topping that was spread on toast or scones.  Never knew that.  Interesting. 

Two days later I pick up the latest Alan Bradley novel I Am Half Sick of Shadows.  The books are set in post WWII England.  No sooner do I start reading than Flavia, the main character, spreads some lemon curd on toast.  I wonder if I had read this before in books and just never noticed or is this the first time I've read a book with a reference to lemon curd.

The series is excellent, by the way.
