The Queerest Salad.

A gourmet as he mixed salad of
chicory said: The worlds Queerest
salad, and possibly its most delicious
one, is eaten by the Inoits of northwest
Greenland. 1t is q salad Of undigested
moss from the stomach Of q fresh
killed reindeer, bitter, sharp, slim
ulating salad, as good for the diges-
ton as an electrical massage. The
Inoits live almost exclusively on fish;
hence salads are a favorite dish with
them. But no salad in their minds
compares with that which they wrest
from the slaughtered reindeer. They
say this salad is crisper, tenderer and
more appetizing than any other, and
they say it wards off indigestion. They
fight for it, they spend their last penny
on it, quite as the Indians do with
frewater. r."-EGchange
