HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1951-10-11, Page 2TABLE eketve ItS A French cookery expert says that "if you have once mastered the simple dish we call pot-au-feu" you can then claim to be a cook." "Pot-au-feu", or course, simply means "pot on the fire" it is a very fine way of using a comparatively inexpensive cut of meat. Essentially it is a piece of beef not fit for roasting ---shin, plate, chuck and so on—cooked slowly with vegetables till it becomes fork- tender. French households often enjoy it once a week or even often- er, and I think your family will "go • for it" too if made according to the following recipe. * * * POT-AU-FEU 4 pounds beef with bone (brisket, rump, shin, plate, chuck or round) 3 quarts cold water 1 tablespoon salt Bouquet garni (bay leaf, fourth.. teaspoon thyme, half -teaspoon peppercorns, three cloves, four sprigs parsley and few celery leaves, tied in cheesecloth bag) 2 cups mixed chopped vegetables, (onion, carrots, celery, white turnips, parsnip) 6 leeks, white part only 3 carrots, quartered 6 cabbage wedges 6 potatoes, whole or quartered. (1) Place meat in a large soup kettle. Add water, salt and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, skimming often. Lower temperature and sim- mer till meat is almost tender— four hours or longer. (2) Add chopped vegetables and those cut in larger pieces. Simmer till Latter are tender—about forty- five minutes, (3) To serve, remove meat to serving platter and surround with large pieces of vegetables. Keep waren. Serve broth with chopped vegetables as a first course, Any ex- cess may be refrigerated for later use. (Chill. remove fat and use wherever soup stock is required.) Yield: six portions. Note: if a fatty cut of pleat is employed, the dish is best made a day in advance, refrigerated and the fat removed be- fore reheating the pot-au-feu and serving. Should any left -over chicken car- cass be availatle, this, too, may be added to the pot-au-feu along with • the raw meat. Or a whole chicken may be cooked at the same time in the broth; it will give something to the stock, and the stock and vege- tables something to it. The chicken may be carefully refrigerated for later meals insalad, creamed, or merely ° sliced cold. Probably one will only want to include a chicken in the pot is (1) the utensil is very large and (2) food is being prepared for more than two or three persons that today comprise many house- holds. * * * Cool fall days may remind you of the richer meats that you have neglected during the summer months, and pork is probably No. 1 on this appetite -satisfying list. Whatever cut you choose, pork should be cooked at a moderate temperature, and cooked thorough- ly. This is an unvarying rule for preparing this meat—a meat that is obtainable in a wide variety be- cause it is sold both fresh and smoked. If you do not use a .meat ther- mometer, allow 30 minutes per pound for,, pieces of pork weighing five pounds or over, and about 45 minutes per pound for smaller pieces (chops are an exception, re- quiring only about 30 minutes per pound except when a recipe calls for more). BAKED PORK CHOPS AND CORN %.inch thick pork chops Creamed or scalloped corn Green pepper Pimiento Brown chops in heavy skillet and place on top of casserole of cream- ed whole -kernel corn (it can be fresh, canned or frozen) to which bits of green pepper and pimiento have been added. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F. until chops are ten- der. if you like stuffed pork chops with baked apples, have chops cut thicker (about 1 inch) and trim a little fat off the edges. Brown chops on one side and leave in skillet, brown side up. Pack a generous mount of highly seasoned stuffing over entire crop and put trimmed - off fat on top of stuffing (this makes then self -basting), and bake for one hour at 350 degrees F. Apples, ready for baking may be put in the same skillet aticl baked with the chops. WRONG AGAIN The orderly officer was going his rounds at breakfast and stopped at one table with the usual query, "Any complaints?" One man jumped to his feet and ,aid: "Yes, sir, this tea tastes of chloride of lime." 'rhe officer took the mug, sniffed the contents, then sipped delicately. ' Non.ense", he pronounced, "that's > 11o1+r a'id l" Reluctant Dragon—Winston Churchill, owner of one.of the world's most famous faces, hates to sit for his picture. For two years our London bureau has been trying to induce him to sit far a new formal portrait. The other day he consented to "stand" for this portrait. Conservative Party leaders, wanting to present visual evidence that the 77 -year-old leader was fit to assume power if the voters so choose in the Oct. 25 general election, induced°shim to pose. Churchill stood uneasily for two minutes on the terrace of his home at Westerham. Then he strode back into the house without a word. Judge for yourself whether he looks ready to assume the burdens of another term as prime minister. We have previously written more than once regarding the disadvan- tages of coopering a column such as this, which must be .written some time in advance and so is liable to be somewhat out of date by the time it appears. - However, the system has its advantages too. For instance, as this is written the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers have just started their 3 -game National League playoff series, and the result of even-, the first set-to is still in doubt. Therefore we are taking the liberty of zlpro- ducing here part of our column which appeared way ' back durirl gs• the first week in March. First of all we dealt with National League pro cis as follows: In the National League, Brook- lyn looks to be a cinch. They should have won last year, and probably would have done so but for a late - season slump occasioned, in all probability, by some of the Dodgers getting the not -unusual notion that press clippings can win ball games. 'k * * Anyway, the figures show the Dodgers winning by a fairly com- fortable margin, their keenest con- tention coning from the Philadel- phia Phillies, who figure to sag a bit from their 1950 drive—a drive that amazed everybody, including themselves. So that's the way the dope reads —Brooklyn Dodgers, first, Phila- delphia Phillies second. Therefore, with our customary mule -like con- sistency, we are selecting neither of the two. Our pick for the National League Pennant — and, when it comes to that, for the World Series—is the New York Giants. 'k * * Having done its duty by the Na- tional League that March column went on to deal with the junior loop thus: .. k k * We turn next to the American League and here we find that the figures make it even easier for a * * prognosticator to choose the win- ner. Boston Red Sox, by as far as a circus press agent can toss the bull, is what it looks like. Steve O'Neill has the pitchers; he has the hitters; and in addition to one of the best infields in baseball — 'Pesky, Stephens, Doerr and Dropo —he now has added Lou Boudreau —a very handy guy to have around at all tines, F * * Yes, indeed, it Looks as if Mr. O'Neill might be suffering from what one word -painter described as "a plethora of riches." In fact, Steve might be like the egg who found himself with five aces in his hand in a poker game—on his own deal= and was puzzled about how to get rid of the extra one. 'k k * So Boston Red Sox it is, accord- ing to the crystal ball, and if the have any trouble at all making the grade it should conte from the direction of Detroit, where Red Rolfe has a team that should im- prove on last season's form—which wasn't so bad after all. But if you think we're predicting a World Series between Boston Red Sox and New York Giants, you aren't aware of the way our re - F II Alb,Offnrh Name Address PLEAS .END CATALOGUE AND PRICES ... w ...,,... w.,w -.w:w puted mind works. No, we can't seem to see Boston, or even the Detroit Tigers. Along about next October we look for an all -New York series—Giants versus Yankees —with Leo Durocher's club finally taking it all. is * * We started off by saying that having to toss together a column ten clays or so in advance has its advantages. Now you'll . see, what at least one of them happens to be. By the time you read this, the Dodgers may have eliminated Leo Durocher's amazing crew and the World Series between Brooklyn and the Yanks will have passed into history. But, for the moment, we are in a position to take a few bows for having called the two New York teams, right at the very start of the season—and when you think back on how badly both seemed to be outclassed around that time ,it wasn't such a terrible call, at that. - There's the old saying, of course, that he who laughs last laughs best. Still ,he who laughs first is sure of having his—so come on you Giants. ' Chewing Gum Drs. Samuel Dreizen and Toni D. Spies report in the Journal of the American Dental Association that immediately after meals vol- unteers chewed sugar -free gum that contained a nitrofurans (Nitro- furans are substances used princi- pally as anti -bacterial agents in dressings for wounds to prevent infection.) X-ray examinations at the end of the year revealed that the group had developed an aderage of only 0.8 new cavities compared with an average of 3.0 new cavities for a control group that chewed the specially prepared gum without the nitrofurans In the third group that chewed no gum an average of 3.8 new cavities developed, LOGY, LISTLESS, T OF LOVE WITH LIFE?
