New York Cit | 1 hear a great deal about leu(,\} vegetables and root vegetables. Is there any short way of classitving | them?—H. M. | | Different writers vary the main | classifications somewhat, but here is | one that in the main tells the story. Green vegetables, “leaty” cabbage, | sprouts, caulifiower. spinach, aspar- | | agus, lettuce, cress, dandelion tops, | beet greens; tubers and roots—po- tatoes, white and sweet; carrots, par- snips, turnip 1 have purposely omitted the to- mato because in one sense it is in a class by ftself. Although it does not fall in the group of leafy vegetables, |it is one that should be considered in_all classifications of fresh vege- { tables. It is especially valuable for the four vitamins which it contains | and for its effect on the appetite and | {for its growth-promoting mineral | | =alts. | The doctor has said that my little | | girl must eat a great deal of spinach. | | She liked it originally, but now she | | has grown =o tired of it that I-have | great difficulty in trying to get her to eat jt at all. Can you give me |any «uggestions?—Mrs. K. R. Not knowing how you have served | the spinach usually.” I may be re | peating some of your own favorite methods, but here are a few sug- gestions. Clean the spinach very | thoroughly and see that it is cooked in its own juices if possible.- So often spinach is served steaming in a watery fluid that it would take away the appetite of any one except a laborer. Then before serving it see | that it is finely chopped. | One need not be very fastidious to {rebel at flapping strings of green, | which one is expected to eat with | zusto. Then you are ready to think about various recipes. Cream of spinach soup is delicious for a deli- cate child and easily relished. Use equal parts of chopped and sifted spinach pulp and - thickened milk. Scald the milk first before making the white sauce with a slice of onion or a stalk of celery, this bheing strained out before the milk is com. | bined with the spinach. Spinach | prepared in this way and mixed with powdered breadcrumbs moistened with milk in which raw egz has been | broken may be haked, and this offers | a delicions hot dish. | As for spinach salads, left-over | | spinach may be combined with meat | or chicken stock and turned into a| {mold to jell.
