BEVERLY HILLS, Calif,
Sept. 8.—Back East, a distin-
guished continental chef rises
up to outline the American gen-
tleman’s Ideal dinner. He names
eight courses, which is too
many, and no domestic flavor
about any part of it—except
possibly the taste of the wait-
er’s thumb In the soup.
In rebuttal, I crave to offer a
menu of all native products,
served according to our own na-
tive cookery which, I proclaim
fills the bill better than any
foreign.built meal ever could.
First—Lynnhaven oysters on
the half shell, with western cel-
ery and ripe olives.
Second — Terrapin stew,
Maryland style.
Third—Rice-fed canvasback
duck, with lye hominy and a
bakial winesap apple.
Fourth—One very small pa-
per-thin slice of hickory-and-
eassafras-cured razorback ham
with watercress salad, soused In
a plain oil and vinegar dress-
ing, the vinegar predominating
and—this may be treason to
some—a tittle sugar in the
dressing, plus just a breath of
garlic.
Fifth—Toasted southern beat-
en biscuit and a mere morsel of
old-fashioned country rat
cheese—preferably from Herki-
mer County, N. Y.
As I write this down, big
drops fall on the paper. Either
Tm drooling at the mouth or
shedding tears of pure longing ,
—or maybe both at ance.
