Show i- i l. l Well We'll Take Apple AppleT AT A T the table the English have always been i known as a hardy race When away from home these peerless trenchermen can take it iti i with the best of them Discovery of a new dish packing a gastronomic thrill excites them no end and they are quick to adopt it for addition to the bills of fare at home nome All of which accounts accounts accounts ac ac- ac- ac counts for the fact that for substantial aliments desserts with amazing staying power and brews to aid digestion and induce contentment the Englishman's table is surpassed nowhere on earth unless earth unless the smorgasbord of t the e Land of the Midnight Sun is brought into the picture We fancy that the duke of Windsor in his travels to escape the boredom of exile had encountered a tickling palate-tickling novelty somewhere somewhere somewhere some some- where on the way tucked it away away in his memory memory memory mem mem- ory and eagerly awaited a time when he could spring it on an unwitting countryman His chance came Friday while dining his younger royal brother and his duchess duchess' So after a start with oysters on the half shell he trotted it out for forthe the duke and duchess of Gloucester for their luncheon in the Hotel Meurice Then he followed followed followed fol fol- fol- fol lowed it by steak potatoes fresh eggs and white Alsatian wine It must have gone gon over well for forthe forthe forthe the press accounts say that afterward the two dukes with their duchesses went for a drive chatting happily together The fhe surprise victual was Russian fish ish pie Well for us that could be left out and with work to do in the afternoon wed we'd leave the Alsatian ambrosia until dinner Well We'll take our pie as s a and it will be good old American apple with a bit of nippy Wisconsin cheese washed down with coffee Boston thus minding our waistline and hoping to postpone a posterior- posterior Russian fish pie Ugh Maybe May May- be its it's all right but we think there should come an end to this reckless experimentation in this country anyway |
