The Navy, however, is boning up on gourmet cooking. Soon the boys in blue may be getting such things as filet mignon and crepes suzettes \as everyday fare. When that hap- pens, the wives at home should be prepared for gourmet criticism. What may be the start of a -far- reaching change ‘ook place recent- ly aboard the USS Upshur of the Military Sea Transportation Serv- ice while the ship was tied u pat a New York dock. {t was called Op- eration Gourmet.

The admiral, smacking his lips over a superb fish -mousse, re- marked it was a shame Navy cooks couldn’t learn to turn out things like this. Gourmet Ravaud at oncé rose to the challenge. “Anybody,” he said, “can be taught to cook well, if the materi als are at hand.” So he volunteered to prepare a gourmet meal aboard a Navy ship, using only the regular stores car- ried aboard. The result was Operation Gour- met, a luncheon aboard the Up- shur, at which Adm: Will and M. Ravaud were co-hosts and New York food experts were guests. Ship’s officers at’ the luncheon | $399, had-expressions-of complete disbe- lief as’ course followed. course. Could this be the same old ship's fare, just cooked: differently? Host Ravaud assured them he had brought nothing that was not carried as part: of the regular ship’s stores except Grand Marnier liqueur used in the dessert.
