Judging from an account of an early seventeenth century feast in Quebec it might indeed appeal to a gourmet. The follow- ing description is given of the meal: ((There were cakes of corn bread, great kettles of eels, sal- mon and beans all boiled together and served in bowls. This was followed by rich meat soups thickened with pound nuts. Corn, peas and baked squash formed the next course. Then came great joints of roast ven- ison, deep squirrel pies, baked wild pigeons, partridges, black- birds and owls. For dessert there were cakes of maple sugar and a sweetmeat of nuts and sunflower seeds with a sauce made of dried berries and boiling water." A Christmas meal at Fort Edmonton in 1847 included boiled buffalo meat, dried moose meat and buffalo tongue. Beaver's tails, roast wild goose and white- fish were also served. Piles of potatoes, turnips and bread graced the centre of the table. For the huge Christmas din- ner that took place about the same period at the home of a prosperou s Toronto family, preparations had to be started well before dawn. It included four kinds of soups; oyster, chicken, gumbo and mutton broth. There were four boiled dishes: beef, pork, mutton, boiled turkey ser- ved with a sauce of melted butter. The vegetables were potatoes, carrots, turnips and onions. The main course consisted of seven different roasts--beef, pork, mutton and turkey as well as venison, chicken and goose, For further tales of Christmas celebrations in Canada a century ago, see "Christmas in Canada" by Mary Barber and Flora Me- Pherson. HOLLY HOLIDAY PEARS Mrs. M. C, Fletcher always thinks of us when she is away from home and usually brings back some women's pages from far away newspapers or a recipe. She has just returned from a visit with her daughter, Carol, in California and brings a copy of the San Francisco Chronicle in which appears this recipe for Holiday Pears. Spicy fruit is a great com- panion for any roast. Well-flavor- ed pears may be served with one of the new popular turkeyrolls. The same pears could be served with conventional turkey, duck, roast chicken or roast beef or lamb. Kestle; assistant, Mrs. Muriel Sweet; membership, Mrs. R. E.
