Those Expensive Hotel Sauces.
There honestly was time when
some American hostesses felt a little
ashamed Of the chow chow and picca-
Hills Of their mothers and grandmoth-
ers such things were all very we'll
for family dinners, hut, like apple but
ter and crullers, pancakes and corn
dodger one would hardly think of serv-
ing them when guests were gathered
around the board The idea was-was
Il not that they were just a little
TOO suggestive of things rural. and not
enough suggestive of contact with the
French cuisine.
Then this IS what often happened.
The woman who knew how TO make
and liked, but didn't dare serve, some
fine old piccalilli ar chutney sauce,
would come upon a piquant sauce at
some famous city hotel It would be
served with considerable ceremony. and
she would he told that II was especial
~ prepared by some celebrated East
Indian cook in the service Of the hotel,
or that il was made after the exclusive
and secret formula Of the chef him
self Yes. the head waiter would tell
her when she inquired il might be
had at one or two Of the leading pur-
veyor's shops at four dollars a half
pint bottle. The chef had consented to
put it on the market for the advantage
Of patrons of the hotel, though OF
course he could not hope to make a
cent on il at that low figure.
And the woman who knew how to
make the old sauces in her grand
mothers cookery book would know full
well that this sauce was nothing more
than piccalilH or chutney or chow
chow that she had been afraid 10
serve at her own table
Where the Recipes Originated
The fact is that almost All the pickle
recipes in the old recipe books are
bound up With interesting history and
have traditions behind them that it
would be fascinating to ferret ont. A
good many Of them had their origin IN
India. and are still made there. They

English first went into that country
In fact. Indian condiments became
rather more readily absorbed 10y the
English than did anything British be-

Then the English housewives began to
make these condiments or sauces as
best they could. with such vegetables
and fruits as their own soil raised,
