The Life of Michelangelo Buonarroti - Georgio Vasari (bought a copy of the Folio Society edition of this, trans. George Bull, from the Harpenden Oxfam Bookshop today.)
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.
