Other than roast beef, mustard, and cheese (the Dickensian classics), what are some foods popularly thought to cause strange dreams if eaten before bedtime?

#windsor mckay is a fascinating but wildly racist artist #the first american animator #some people argued he was the first animator period but even though the french guys clown cartoon was less skillful it did come first #but mckay was also interesting cause he could freehand complex perspective straight in pen #while he eventually did pioneer the use of cels in animation his early shorts required redrawing the same backgrounds every single frame #he also made the first animated documentary with his film about the sinking of the Lusitania #until disney's nine old men came around and made up some half useful rules he was the best around at naturalistic movement in animation #also the welsh rarebit referred to in the name was usually more like toast with the cheese and beer sauce on top at the time #Youtube
