Show LEHI FREE PRESS, LEHL UTAH JUST WHAT GOES INTO POTLIKKER AMERICAN ANIMALS M. I By William Bntckart r HOW CONGRESS FUNCTIONS JaRBER Controversies raged In the press a While ago about the proper way to eat or shall we say drink?' "potlikker," that of southern fame Shall the corn bread be crumbled Id It or shall It be "dunked" Id It? Many papers Joined Id the dispute and interviewed governors and majors, and "Northerners as well as Southerners, who hare had experience. Perhaps there may still be among the readers of this column some who do Dot know exactly what pot llkker Is. For their benefit I will say that It is the liquid remaining Id the pot after greens and meat, usually pork, hare been cooked And Just to be od the safe side I will mention that to "dunk" Is to dip. The really Important point about potlikker did not enter Into the discussion at all. The essential Is actually, not huve you taken potlikker ut that you do take It In that liquor remain valuable salts and rltanilns which are necessary to the health of the body, and Id the poorer districts of the South, the lives of many babies and the health of many have been saved by the custom of giving Infant this form of nourishment very early in life. The greens may be one of many kinds. There are. In fact, any n um her of wild greens wblrb ere eatable but which are little known The bureau of plant Industry In Wash lngton has recently prepared some ma terlal In regard to these greens which are often considered "common weeds." A recent article In the press called these "vegetable foods lo be had at Nature's Free Lunch Counter " Of course you know the bumble dan dellon which has furnished us In the fpting for so many years our first taste of spring, Perhaps you have even dug the young roots from the lawn (for price), thus satisfying the annual favorite craving for them and at the same time beautifying the lawn. It Is almost a shock to find that now the dandelion Is cultivated and plucked like any other green for market, where you can order It In the same way beginning In late February. Young beet greens sometimes labeled "sanitary," are also to be bought, brushed and ready for cooking. Bunched beets In market this week bad young tender tops worthy of preparation for the table. Swiss chnrd. while not In season all the year, has a delicate flavor which some people like better than that of spinach. Carrot tops and turnip tops are used to ome extent The tender green tops of young onions are also delicious. Try thetn with a white sauce. Kale and broccoli greens are also delicious. To get the most food value and the best flavor, yhese greens must be cooked with little or no water and for the least possible time. Overcooking destroys their delicacy of flavor and Color as well They differ In the amounts of minerals and vitamins In the first place, but they are ail supplied with a large enough quantity to make them count tn the diet. These are preserved by the proper method of cooking. They must first be thoroughly cleaned. Warm water, which wilts the leaves, also makes It easier to remove the sand from leafy vegetables. They should then be drained and cooked In the water which remains on the leaves. I like to use heavy uten ails and to keep them covered tightly. A cooking Is usually long enough for spinach other greens may take slightly longer. They should be eerved as soon as possible after cook i t Ing. Genuine potlikker. as we know It In the South, Is not prepared by these rules and regulations, but 1 dare to any that It would be the better for It as far as food value Is concerned. I do not dare express any opinion as to the Improvement In flavor.
