Heimweh."

~-yE AMERICANS have decided opin-
M ions about the cookery of other ma
w tons and. as rule. we make ho
bones about expressing them. Like so many
of our opinions, they are compounded OF
contempt and sense of humor, the lat'er
predominating generally. as when we breezy
sum up the matter I'm declaring that IN"
Italian lives on "da spagett," the Spaniard
on garlic. the Hungarian on "Goloshes, the
Chinaman on rats, the Japanese on raw
fish. and the Russian on tallow candles
Then there Is our suspicion, born or lack
OF first hand familiarity. The simon-pure
American. while willing TO admit the
Frenchman's supremacy in the field. yet
makes mental reservation against his
"rlch sauces" and even suspects that they
are often used TO cover Inferior material
But most delighted are we when our
humor plays with the Germans supposed
culinary preferences Sauerkraut is not his
favorite dish. but we have decided that 1t 10.
and protests are of no avail. And, them
Of course. there is his eternal sausage.
OUR OWN DISHES.
1t is with a real shock that the Ameri-
can. proud of his own home cooking, dis
covers that the foreigner assumes very
much the same superior attitude toward our
most cherished dishes. Incredible as II may
appear. pork and beans Is not to him the
wholesome, hearty. blessed food 1t Is
to us, but an indigestible mess" And
when II comes to sauerkraut. the foreigner
claims that we eat far more cabbage than
the German himself. and that we eat It at
a season when II should be left alone-in
our tropical summer. with the thermometer
at 90 degrees and the humidity at about
the same figure. And as for "wurst." the
Germans answer to that IS that we, too
are hearty sausage eaters. We even have
them for breakfast.
When In the course OF his visit to this
country the late Max O'Rell was asked if
he would not like nice piece Of beefsteak
for breakfast. he answered:
NO thanks. I dine at in the evening"
One wonders what he would have said II.
instead of beefsteak, he had been asked to
partake of fresh country sausages and
griddle cakes.
A more recent German visitor OF ours,
Baron Won Wolzogen, devoted. on his re-
turn to Berlin. an entire newspaper article
to the general unspeakableness Of our ma
tional dishes and cuisine. Sweet potatoes,
he said, among other things, compared I'M
favorably with glycertne soap boiled In
sugared water.
That amiable diplomatist, Marquis WI
Ting-fang, courteously, but firmly. eX-
pressed his opinion Of the awfulness Of the
castronomic taste Of the Western bar
barians by vigorously welding his fan
whenever the ripe and creamy camembert
was served around at the end of their
banuuets. The European disparages our
oysters. we pronounce his UNBEATABLE. and
so II goes.

NATIONAL DISHES.

Our charge that other peoples national
dishes are heavy. indigesuble. fit only for
manual laborers. is also made by them
against ours. AS a matter Of fact. the real
national dishes of the nations are apt 20 be
heavy, because the world over we must

ALL A MATTER OF HABIT.

Man is a creature of habit in his culinary
preferences as much as in other matters
He nstinctively disHkes and suspects what
he does not know; he swears by what he
has been brought up on. The American
resident in Europe anywhere will beget a
tolerance and eventually a liking for the
national cookery of whatever people he
lives among; the tanned and domesticated
American of foreign birth ends by recog-
nizng the sterling merits Of pork and
beans clam chowder, cheese monkey and
other filling" dishes. He will even come
to laud cur hearty breakfasts, although he
will continue TO the end TO denounce our
way Of preparing spinach. And yet bacon
and green's are capital eating. If one can
only have them in the real American way
cooked in an American home in the real
American country. Such triumphs as ter
rapin, lobster a la Newburg, fried chicken
a la Maryland, canvasback duck and the
like are hors cOncOurs, admitted to the cir
Gle OF international delicaces on first &C.
