The kabob is broiled meat. but is
broiled in SO ridiculous fashion as to
be really funny The peddler uses a lit
tie charcoal furnace, something like
those in use by our plumbers. In it he
keeps up small but hot fire. Attached
to the side of the furnace is lot OF

Of meat, mutton or goat, the latter being
the most popular, cuts it with sharp
knife into long ribbon, winds it around
the skewer and places it over the char
coal fire. Some of the drippings are col
lected, and, with little salt or salt and
spice, makes pleasant sauce for the
kabob when it is done. The cooking is
very rapid What with the heat Of the
fire and the thinness OF the meat, it is
thoroughly done in two or three minutes.
The green cakes are nothing more or
less than small wheaton cakes mixed
with chopped green leaves Of various
kinds sailed and baked in slow oven.
They are pale yellow, yellow gray and
brownish gray, with irregular splashes
of green OH both the upper and lower
surfaces. They are said to be very nour-
ishing, and they are certainly very APP
petizing and palatable when fresh from
the oven. Almost any kind of green leaf
which is used as human food serves for
making green cake. The humble cab
bage and the aristocratic petit pois vert,
the watermelon rind and the celery
top, the string bean and even the aspar-
agus tip have been used for the purpose.
In addition to the nutritious leaf there
is nearly always fiavoring leaf. The
