The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1911-10-06

When President Taft sits down to
a breakfast in the Bannock hotel In
this city on the morning of October
6, he will be served with food fur
nished by the various counties Of the
southeastern part of the state. Every
thing will be home grown, from slic-
ed peaches as an appetizer, to honey
on hot cakes. Secretary Cocker, of the
Pocatello Commercial club, is today
sending out letters to prominent men
throughout the southeast, stating
that it is up to them" to see that
their particular communities S"come
through" with some feature Of the
Taft breakfast. A tentative list OF
food stuffs is given above. Some OF
the famed hunters of Fremont county
will see that elk and bear meat is
brought down from the northern part
of the county which ADULTS on the ma
tional park. Bear Lake county will
send a big lot of its famous Bear
Lake trout, a distinct Species Other
communities will be represented with
butter. eggs. honey, fruit, -four, sugar
and so on.
To Twin Falls county has been
awarded the honor Of furnishing the
famous potatoes which are grown in
that district, and these spuds will be
served in way which has made the
Twin Falls Commercial club and its
live-wire secretary, Rober w. Spang-
Ter, famous. They will be baked, and
eaten in way now familiar to the
President, who not long ago was the
recipient of a lot of Idaho potatoes
from Twin Falls, accompanied by
recipe showing how they should be
baked and eaten for breakfast. The
spuds are to be broken open in half,
slices of the mealy meat scooped out
with spoon, and a slice of fresh but
| ter laid in the hollow to melt. With
teaspoon or fork the toothsome
spud is then shoveled into the mouth
The idea is a unique one and will
result in an excellent advertisement
of all of southeastern Idaho.
