Culinary Notes
The Onion: This vegetable is the
most useful of all our f1avorers. and
there is hardly a soup, stew, sauce,
etc, that Is not improved by the ad-
dition of the onion flavor. AS vege-
! table the onion may be prepared in a
variety of ways The white onions
are the most delicate and are, therefore.
more suitable as a vegetable than the
yellow or red variety. The large Span
] ish onions and the Bermuda onion are
also delicate and suitable for a table
vegetable. If the stronger onions are
used for this purpose they must be
thoroughly blanched.
