Stargazy Pie and Control F

All week long I've run into references to stargazy pie. Every time I've had a very specific image of it in my head. A charcoal looking drawing with a large pie with a wonderful, thick crust and eight or so little pilchard heads peeking out. No tails, just the heads.

I got to wondering if I had seen an illustration like that in Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell so I took it down from the shelf and was saddened to see there was no list of illustrations at the front. And would you believe control f doesn't work on a 782 page hardback book? What's that all about?
