Talk About Appetitesi CHRISTMAS in England, of course, is an old feast day, though the Santa Claus and Christmas tree traditions come to us from another source. William E Mom's "The English Medieval mast" (Bough- ton, Idiffiin) quotes from Stowe “Survey of London," an account of the great feast which King Rich- ard gave in Westminster Hail in the year i899. just after rebuilding the hall of William Rufus: "A mos-t royal Christmas, ,with daily joustinsfi and running: at tilt, whereunto resorted such a number cf people that there was every day spent twenty-eight or twenty-six oxen; and 300 sheep, besides fowl without number; he caused a gown for himself to be made of gold, garnished with pearls and precious stones, to the value of 3000 marks; he was guarded by Cheshire men and had about him eommcnl, thirteen " k , besides barons, knights, squircs, and others more than needed; inscmuch that the household came every day to meet 10.000 people, as sppeareth by the messes told out from the kitchen to 800 servitors.“ Choosing The Turkey WATfl-IB of the Christmas turkey should be bright red. the skin and flesh white, the breast broad and plump, the end of the bone tender, the legs smooth and black. It should be hung for two or three days. Reserve the gibiets for soup or gibiet pie. Wash the turkey and dry with a cloth. Stuff the crop with chest- nut, veal, or sausage stuffing, or put veal stuffing in the crop and chestnut stuffing in the body of the bird." Some prefer to fill the body of the turkey with parboiled‘ skinned chestnut Cover the breast with greased paper and roast in s good oven. Baste often. A short time before the cooking is finished remove the paper, flour the breast. and baste yell tc-froth and brown it. ipoiats, sausages PL?" "l"; Riddles For The Christmas Party What letter is it that turkeys most dislike? The letter “A" because it makes roost into roast. Why is a rumor like a kiss un- der the mistletoe.

They used i-t in con- nection with their feast of Saturn- alia-the festival held in honour of Saturn, the Roman god. During this festival which lasted seven days, the pagan Roman. sent sprigs of holly to his friends with wishes for their health and well-being. When Christianity swept away the pagan gods of Home the early Christians continued the use of holly to dlecorate their churches and dwell ngs-and they did this at Cluristmas. * PHE CHILD AND THE MAID‘ 0N‘ CI-mISTMAB Day the Child was born, On Christmas Day in the morning; To tread the long way, lone and lorn, 'I‘o wear the bitter crown of thorn, To break the hear-t by man's sins torn, To die at last the Death of Scorn.

Sure its the same old wreath but you can give it a lot of new twists and give yourself a lot of fun if you'll take the trouble to figure out a few new viewpoints. There are a few suggestions that may help you in decorating the house, the family Christmas tree and in Wrapping your peeks-see- As a matter of feet you wouldn't feel right about it, and things wouldn't look right if you didn't usetbesamecidwreathlnsome form or other, for that same old wreath is the very symbol ofall the sentiment and "tradition that Christmas had come to stand for. Your particular wreath, however, can be different if you want it to be. For instance, I once saw a beautiful wreath of pine with gilded nuts. colored brown egg- shells and small sea shells all en- twined in a new kind of beauty yet very Christmas looking. There is nothing in a wreath like that that costs tco much money or spells too much trouble to make if you are really serious about giv- lng your holidays a new dress. Styles In Tree Attire There are many distinctive and unusual little touches to'he given your home for the holidays. If you have any wide window sills, ar- range a few symmetrical rows of real miniature pine trees in red pots and note the gay different effect. To contrast, contrive a frosty looking tree of , cellophane with glassy white shimmering icicles purchasable in most any store- Scatter a few colored glass bails over the tree and you'll be amazed at hou Ohristmassy and still how unusual your room ap- pears. If your room or home is too heavy for such arr icy shimmering effect, decorate your tree with more colorful ‘ropes of tinsel, glass balls and candles and string it with heavy real cords and tassels. Add to the effect still further by 13111111851118 fl- few inexpensive white wool hose with red tops and let them hang from the mantel or other projections. A few bowls of colorful stick and cane candy will add still further. ' - COOKER Y OF OLD ENGLAND Instead of the conventional green and red, did you ever try a few absolutely white wreaths stud- ded with colorful glazed fruit or colorful candy? And don't forget that you are not absoiutel, oblig- ed to stick in the conventional pine Christmas tree. That idea came along after Christmas itself. Some people achieve distinctive decorations with spruce and branches. Might try several bunches of these in the middle of your ceiling and let the branches trailcuttothecdgeaArowof pure white candles interlocked with small strings of lightweight blue and red cellophane balls is quite startling. Crystal holly can A now be purchased, too, for a change. -I..aurel leaves interspersed with white camcllias and white candles gives oddity, also. White-With Touches of led In short, the 01a fashioned ‘red and green Christmas can be ae- ceptabiy superseded with a white . and icy Christmas. Red poinsettas will serve well, too, if you still wont color, but want it different. Probably one of the nicest ways to add novelty to Oluistmcs de- corations without changlng funda- mentals is to choose those differ- ent odds and ends, such as un- usual place cards at the table, Christmas candles in place of regu- lar candles, and so on. In wrapping packages you'll find the conventional green and red paper, plain or with holly de- sign, and likewise in wrapping tape, still the most festive and the most welcome. However, if you should want a. change for some particular swanky gift, try the glazed cellophane in unusual col- or's or a blue glazed tarlatan, for instance, wrapped and tied with plain silver ribbon or cord. There are myriads of apparent- ly trivial but effective and inex- pensive ways to develop a differ- ently decorated home for Christ- mas, but there are few set rules to lay down. It acquires but a~few moments on your part to sit down with chin cupped in hand, study the effects and possibilities of your room or rooms and then de- termine how differently to string your Christmas ropes from window to window or wall to wall ‘or from mantel to other natural points. (Junie in The Farmer's Advocate) R SOME years there has been a. movement on foot in Eng- land, having for its object the re- viving of the cookery of Merrie England. In this effort Miss Flor- ence White has played a leading nart and now she has published a book Good Things in Eng'and which contains 853 recipes of tra- ditional English dishes with some fascinating stories about famous dishes of long ago. Miss White is founder of the English Folk Cook- ery Antcciation, which has held various exhibitions and has been actively at work dis~overing old recipes, testing them and modern- izing them by giving definite measurements, and instructions for ' making. Just to read over the names cf some of the good things is an in- cltcment. to appetite and a pleas- ure to the ear. It n like reading a ballad oi old England in the days when a merry heart was esteemed above riches. Menchets. Gypsy Bread, Singin’ Binnie, Minnow Tansiss, Welsh Venison, Hasty Haggis, Woof Pie, Chadoons, Sal- magundy, Whip Sillabubs, Fat Fascals, Revel Buns, Frumenty- how many of these have any of us met in real life and what wouldn't we give to meet them nowl Frumenty is one of the ancient dishes that gives us an insight in- to the eating habits of our British forefathers. Miss White tells of a manuscript in the British Museum which shows that it was eaten at an accompaniment to meat. It was served with porpoise at the wed- ding feast of Henry IV on his marriage with Joan of Navarre; also at the coronation feast of Henry VII. when it accompanied the venison. Nowadays it is served as n. sweet course, esrr~ialiv at mid-Lent. Eavter and Christmas. In the north of England it ap- pears only at Christmas. It has grown richer through generations of experiment and now is made with milk and sugar, raisins. spices and eggs. But what is frumenty? It is just about the same thing as- cracked wheat porridge. Special- ists today are advoca‘ing the use of cracked wheat as one of the best remedies for intestinal stasis and also as rich in Vitamins A and B. Though they did not know the vitamins by name, they evid- ently knew the right accompani- ments for rich meat dishes in the olden days. North of England Fnrmenty Take one quart of hulled or pearied wheat ,that is wheat with the first husk removed). cover with cold water and let stand 12 hours or more, preferably in a warm oven. A fireless cooker or nay box is excellent for this pur- pose. Then take out. put on the stove and boil till it is swollen and soft, stirring often to prevent, burning. Pour into a deep dish to cool and it will turn cu a stiff, glutinous mass. ‘This is cree'd or stewed wheat and from this fru- menty is made- Tc make the frumenty Wilbu- take some of the credd wheat and boil with double the quantity of milk until thick and creamy. If it does not thicken sufficiently mix a little flower with cold milk and stir in. In Suffolk County fru- menty was baked or boiled with honey and cinnamon and served during the twelve days of the Christmas feast, December 25 to January 6. A plate "was placed outside at night for the Pharisees (fairies) which would indicate that the dish was a very ancient mldwlnter custom. Frumenty is believed to be the most ancient of all British dishes, probably the daily diet of the men of the Stone Age. In the Bible of i551, there is a reference of fru- menty of new come (wheat). Flummery, often confused with frumenty, is a jelly made of oat- meal, to be eaten with honey or milk. The term flummery is now applied to any starch Jelly made from cereals. ' Simnel one Mid-Lent or Mothering Sunday is, a very ancient custom in many rural parts of England. In Lan- caster children visiting their moth- er always took a present oflthe time-honoured Simnel Cake. The following is a very old recipe, handed down in one family ‘for generations. 2% lbs. flour 1 ounce salts of ammonia ‘it lb- almonds 4 lbs. currents" ii ounce cinnamon ii ounce nutmeg ‘A lb. candied lemon peel 5 Milk if needed Rub the butter and lard into the ' flour. Pound the salts of ammonia and mix in well. Mix in all other dry ingredients. Blend with the eggs to a stiff dough and shape into a round cake, i8 inches or more across and about 8 inches thick. Bake in a slow oven 1% to 2 hours. George-Would you be alarmed if I kissed you while you are under that mistletoe? Grace-Ya, but it would he l. alarm.

Repeat till the dish is well filled. Pour in the stock and cover with rich crust. Bake for about one hour, first at the top and then at the bottom of a fairly hot oven. Christmas Apple Pie This is a. 1170 recipe from Bed- fordshire. The pie is called an Apple Florentine, these flcrentines being huge pies baked in a deep pie dish of pewter or plate. Tc make the apple pie fill the dish with good baking apples, sugar and lemon. cover with the rich pastry. Before serving the pastry is removed and a full quart of well- spiced ale poured in. The pastry is out in triangles and served with the fruit. These are just a few of the hundreds of recipes. They remino us of the traditions of good living that have come to us from the past. The emphasis seems to have been on meat dishes, especially tasty meat pies. on rich fruit cakes and little pastry cakes, on rich preserves and potent bever- ages. The recipes are not extrava- gant. It would appear that when Great-Grandmamma broke up a dozen or so of eggs for a cake she was doing a real baking, in quant- ities suited to a big family. The some recipes reduced to a modern formula for the convenience of modern cooks, shows that eggs, butter and cream were used only in a rational proportion to the amount of food cooked. -,.. 1-,. eé)’, 2.. 3-» 2-» i 2,- PAGE THREE ~£ yiilv‘), ._..41. 1.. .~ Cooking The Christmas Feast Seasonable Hints ER! are the usual Christmas fowls and their recognised accom- panimentu-Reast tu.kcy, bread or cranberry sauce; mast chicken or capon, clear sauce and bread sauce: roast duck, green pea gar- nish; roast goose, apple sauce; boiled rabbit, onion sauce and boiled bacon; boiled turkey or chic- ken, egg sauce.

In olde days at a Christmas feast in England, next to importance to the boss's head L; a Christmas dish was the pea- cock. To prepare the bird for the table was a task entailing no little trouble. The skin was first car=fuily stripped on’ with the plumage ad- hering. The bird was then roa ted; when done, and partially cooled, it was sewed up again its feathers; it: beak painted with gilt and s0 sent to the table. Sometimes the whole body was covered with leaf gold and a piece of cotton saturated with splits placed in it beak and light- ed before the carver commenced opewtions. This “'~'d '01- lzw-rs and meat for lords" was stuffed war. silo: a d swcets bastrci with yolk of eggs and served with plenty of gravy. - The noble bird was not served by common hands; that privilege was reserved for the lady guests most dlstingukhed by birth or beauty. One cf them carried it in- to the dining ha‘l to the sounds of music, the. rent o: the iadlcs follow- ing ‘n due order. The dish was set down be'cre th~ master of the houseor his mo-t hmored guest.

Christmas Arr Every big London maket has its own special characteristics. One of the most characteristic of all is Ieaden hall marked, because of its position and the essentially friend- ly and famiy air about it. During the Christmas season the air is positively festive. having Guests For Christmas THINK OF THEIR COMFORT CHRISTMAS hostess who is really concerned about the comfort of her guests will take serious stock of the spare room before their arrival. She will take an afternoon nap upon‘ the. bed, and thus make sure that it is really comfortable, to say nothing of meditating upon the little ad- ditional comforts that might be introduced. She will notice if there is a draught from the window that plays about the head of the bed as now placed, or if the curtans adequately screen the light W-cm the face of the sleeper. Sh< viil decide to remove the photograph of grandpa in 1887, and subs‘ltute for the tire being that pretty flower picture that was framed a. month ago. " She will remember to get out ‘he extra blanket for the foot of the brd, and order an extra hot water bottle in case the guest needs one. She will recollect that the guest will need clean shoes, and make a mental note to tell her or him that if they are left in the scullery they will be cleaned first thing in the morning. She will resolve to receive the guests with the warmest welcome, but to refrain from fussing and thus give the newcomer the im- pression that her or his visit has upset the entire household. we vvvvvvvvvvvvvwvvwvwvvvvrvvvvvvvvvvvvv vv-fivvvvvvvv Santa ’s Visit i, ' ,1, ‘t.
