It seems to me quite likely that Dr Watson's tastes in food would be quite
different from Holmes'. Watson may have been influenced by his time in 'the
East' and therefore would appreciate spicy food whereas my impression of
Holmes is he ate to live, i.e. would have more simple English meals of the
day, largely lamb or beef and potatoes and boiled vegetables, which the
faithful landlady would be able to provide..

At the 31st Meeting of The Goose Club (last night, Los Angeles) I
mentioned The SHSOI and this post to Mr Farrell. He welcomes
discussion, perhaps he can be invited to join the group?
