" Hebrews and EATING YOUR WAY ARGUND THE WORLD Pickled Ghrysanflnmum Leaves Weindest of Earth's Dishes * Washington, D. C., Jan, 16.—Now Year's dinner which 'constitutes onc of the most widely observed of man's feasts, is not past. That is, it Is not it you can put aside a notion all too easlly acquifed—that your way s necessarily the only way, As & matter of fact, according to a bul- letin from the Walhlngoon. U, C., headquarters of the Natlonal Geo- graphi¢ society there are four very widely observed New Year Days— those of Christlandom, Islam, the the ' Chinese—and numerous others celebrated by smaller groups. If a mean were struck of the varl- ous dates, what might loosely be called the world’s ‘“average New Year Day" would fall several months farther along towar] summer than Jaunuary 1, The bulletin briefly traces the gas- tronomic trall of New Year dinners and other feasts through a number of countries, Side Dishes Show Distance From # - Home “Dining in the homes of England and western Europe, the American abroad on New Yeéar's Day would find the chief dish a reminder qf home. Turkey, duck or goose makes the most popular roast in Bogland, while plum pudding—this tile with a generously flavored brandy sauce—usually tops off the meal. ““In France and Spain, our Ameri- can explorer of the world's tables would again encounter the turkey but there he would find the capon and the pheasant sharing its popu- larity. Methods of preparation gnd side dishes, however, would tell him unmistakably that he was getting farther afield. Truffles, chestnuts and olives are important ingredients of the dressing of the New Year's fowls in those Latin countries. In France snails might be numbered among the viands that supplement the plece de resistance, and in Spain the meal, starting, say, with almond soup, would be sure to in- | clude among the secondary dishes a | sopa, rice cooked in olive oil, with tomatoes and other vegetables and perhaps bits of meat, “In northern Africa, whatever the date of the feast, it would be sure to have as its central dish cous- €ous, This consists of wheat pre- pured like fine grains of rice, steamed with lamb or mutton, and végetables i the latter are obtain- able, It is served in a large, al- most hemispherical, basket-dish so clouely woven that it’ holds iyater. About tHis container Yhe diners sit, taking thelr food with:thetr fingers, Ofives, ‘@ates, and figs help to com- plete the mr-al and.: on occasion | there may be a dish' of locusts— grasshonpers—prepared with wheat. @ logs, wings and heads are re- moved before the creatures are | eooked. Queer Mixture in Tibet. “Among the Zulus of southern | Afri \\imlc oxen or bullocks are roasted at feast time; and in central | Africa the l&! of feasts is mnxtcd‘ elephant’s foot. “In Persia, as lhr()uglloul all th Near and Central t mutton hold first place. 'There the accepted | epicurcan trick is to cool the meat | in pomegra Juice, Rice Is cooked in gre nd the two com- bined form the famous pilau, With the p is served the thin, crisp, | | bapcrlike bread of Persia. ! “If one's cullaary investigations | extend to backward Tibet he finds a | strange combination of a barbarism which shows itself in the eating of | HARTFORD | pose they are raw meat—the ‘higher’ and ‘gamier’ the better—and an fngenuity that has evolved concentrated emergency rations. A Tibetan foast might consist of yak meat, strong tea mixed with rancid butter, and parched bar- ley meal molstened with the greasy tea, * Evaporated and drjed yak's milk soaked in tea would constitute the leuun ‘dessert course.’ The Apotheosis of Rice “fn India no jmportant repast would be complete without quantities of rice’and curry, It is in Java, how- over, that'rice is raised to its high- est status as a food. It he who goes exploring among the foods of the world is a connolsseur Lo may well pause in Java, devoting days and weeks to exploring the varia- tlons—the nuances, one might al- most say—of that Dutch-Javan food masterplece, the rijst-tafel (rlce table. “Rice Js boiled to flaky whiteness and spread evenly on platters, each ' of which is to serve as an individual dish, But this rice, good as it s in_itself, and later because of its borrowed savors, is as yet only tho foundation of the dish, the ‘table as the Dutch have it. On it are placed little heaps of choice tid-bits limited in variety only by the genlus and imagination of the chef and his master's poeketbook. The foods of the superstructure may in- clude minced bits of a number of meats preparcd and flavored in varlous ways, their julces penectra- g the rice below; Hittle piles of | delicate vegetables such as tiny peas or asparagus tips; eggs, fish, curry sauce, chutneys, relishes, scmi- confections, and a choice of many other food delicacies, The rijst- tafel constitutes a meal in itsell upon which one may dine sumptu- ously or with which he may toy fastidiously as his appetite dictates. Many Meats at Korean Feasts “Feasting is something of an in- stitutién ‘among well-to-do Koreans. Once or twice a year the wealthy rice landlords go to Seoul, the capi- tal, and invite small armics of friends®and acquaintances to dine with them that their prestige may be heightened in the eyes of their world, Halt a dozen er more meats may be served at such a feast Do This After Severe Illness How to Speedily Gain Strength and Put on Needed Weight Nothing like the wonderful vitaliz- ing vitamines in Cod Liver Oil to help convalescing people to quickly get “strong and . well—everybody knows that.
