By the way, if you want to read the source of the film. Here's a link to Isak Dinesen's original story (of the same title) from her collection Anecdotes of Destiny. The story of its writing is that someone dared her she couldn't break into the American magazine short story market, which even in the Fifties, when the challenge was made, was still fairly lucrative. She said that she decided to write a story about food because Americans are obsessed with it, so apparently (at least from a Danish perspective) this isn't a recent phenomenon. In any case, the story was published in 1950 in the Ladies Home Journal.
By the way, you can find Blixen's original collection through the openlibrary.org, an internet library with free registration.
