SALAD.—SaIad '
IS a production of taste • it belongs to
the Fine Arts, and can no more be acquired by rule than
can poetry, or sculpture, or painting. You may indeed
measure, or hew out, or daub off /v salad. You may
know that lettuce requires very little oil, arid endive
very much ; that rape needs beetroot and celery ; that
that coR cauliflower is the basis of a delicious salad used
very much in Italy, but almost unknown in England ;
You may know that four table-spoonsful of oil should go
generally to one of vinegar ; that the salt is a matter to
be nervous with ; that, above all things, it is necessary
to dissolve thoroughly the salt in the vinegar before you
add the oil. All' this you may know; and you may
know how to collect at the right season the right herbs ;
yet, nevertheless, you must be born a salad maker, with
the full measure of native tact, if you would shine in the
profession. It has even been doubted, in the face of the
great Gaudet, whether one man can combine in himself
all the qualities which go to make a perfect salad maker
—because, to complete a salad properly, is said, in fact,
to require the united efforts of four different men : a
spendthrift for the oil, a miser for the vinegar, a sage for
the salt, and a maniac for the mixing.—ge Roving Eng.
