Agriculture Canada's food consultants advise you_ to look for frozen or canned' fruit that is packed without sugar or in a light syrup. In terms of frozen dairy pro- ducts; sherbet and ice milk ,contain less fat than ice cream. Snacks like candies, chocolates and chips supply empty calories whereas crisp vegetables, fruit, nuts and raisins offer much more. in terms of food value, Think about it! • Whether you are thinking of having a romantic dinner for two or a larger family get-together at Christmas, you might be a little unsure how much food to buy. Food Advisory Division, Agri- culture Canada offers some guidelines for buying poultry and preparing stuffing for that bIg supper. If turkey is on the menu, a 1;pound bird will serve 12 to 16 , people, whereas one 'of eight pounds will suffice if only 8 to'" 10 people are invited: to dinner. A 20 pound bird will satisfy 20 to 25 people. These servings are generous and will allow for seconds. For stuffing, allow abOut ten cups for a turkey of 20 pounds, and about seven cups for one of 10 pounds. Don't stuff the bird tightly because the stuffing expands during cooking. Spoon in the stuf- fing immediately before cing the bird and don't forget to remove it right after the dinner's over and refrig- erate turkey aad stuffing separately. These pre- cantionc ,.,;11 avoid un- necessary bacterial growth. Other types of poultry are just as welcome at Christmas as turkey. •A five pound duck would serve four people. If you choose to serve a chicken YOUR CHRISTMAS.MENU — Turkey has,for centuries been a favorite at Christmas. This year, experiment with a different type of stUffing. The Food Advisory Division, Agriculture Canada developed their own version of bread stuffing. Add 1/2 pound.pf chopped mushrooms and 1/2 cup of cashews per 10 cups of bread. For this Christmas we also have a goose recipe. Even at Christmas Don't forget balanced T eals bread otato ing procedure. It's prefer- able to thaw in the refriger- ator or in cold water; since in both cases the bird remains cold and thi$ slows down the growth of bacteria. In the' refrigeratoE, allow five hours , per pound and about one hour per pound in cold water. After the bird is completely thawed, Cook immediately, or at least within 24 hours if refrigerated. Happy holidays and good eating! FACTS ON FIBER Why dietary fiber? We hear it more and more these days. The reason is that we consume too many refined foods and are encouraged to, change OUT habits and incor- porate more fiber into our diets. "Dietary fiber .is the indigestible substance form- ing the structure or outer cell ,wall of plants", explains Lina Robichon, food consultant, Food Advisory Division, Agriculture Canada. "When we eat foods such as vege- tables or whole grain cereals, the body is unable to break down the fiber they contain and it therefore passes un- changed through the intes4- inal system to be excreted as a bulky, soft residue. The advantage of consuming this fiber is that waste products move faster through the body. The intestinal tract, therefore, remaitts in top working order." How does one incorporate more fiber into the diet? The answer is to eat more whole _grain products, and more fresh fruits and vegetables. Pick up whole wheat cereals, breads and muffins. Serve fresh salads and fresh fruit cocktail for dessert rather than sweetened cakes and cookies. . Sprinkle a few teaspoons of bran over breakfast cereal casseroles, yogurt and fruit. Or serve your daily bran in a most attractive outer coat by .trying this recipe for "Bran Chiffon. Cake." It also offers the goodness of protein from egg whites in a relatively low calorie cake. Fiber has never tasted so good! BRAN CHIFFON CAKE SOO rill sifted cake and pastry
