water in which sago or barley grits have been
cooked, favored with grated lemon peel and
stick cinnamon. When this has all been
STAINED, we added a few cooked prunes and
preserved cherries, and very often little
whipped cream is floating on top.
Buttermilk soup is extremely wholesome.
The buttcrmilk is boiled, thickened with rice
-four, sweetened with sugar. We add grated
lemon peel and a handful of raisins. We al.
,cost always serve whipped cream with this
soup. In Denmark we will go without many
things before we give up our good cream and
butter. The price has been very high, higher,
I believe, than with you. But, if we have it,
we pay it for what we consider essentials.
We do not eat much beef in Denmark. But
what we do is first marnated; that is, allowed
to stand twelve hours in a preparation of oil
ana vinegar, claret and laurel leaves. After

we prefer cheese and fruit, rather than pud-

Of rice is advocated. We call it ris pom04e
Rice is boiled, then mixed with gelatine

tho beef is Drowned in saucepan this marin

it can be only in Scandinavian households, by
being strung through with small pieces of fa.

hours, then cut it into thin Slices dip it in

With outlets we like hot potato salad. This
we make by slicing Boiled potatoes and heating

With roast pork we eat red cabbage, which is
cooked over slow fire and stirred until it is
quite soft. Then a lump of butter is added,
vinegar, sugar and a cup of red currant jelly,
or hot apple sauce.
You will notice that speak often of onions.
We like the flavor, and we know that they are
very wholesome. We use them whenever
we can.

But in Denmark we have always eaten n
great deal Of fish, We have great many
kinds, but not more, I believe, than YOU
in America; although think we make much
more use of herring than you do Here arc
three herring dishes which are frequently upon
my table:
HERRING SERVED WITH MAYONNAISE
From smoked herring we take out the bones,
and msnce 1t up with hard-boiled eggs. This
wc servc--as we do SO many Of our salads
with mayonnaise. But it is very good without.
Pickled herring we keep in milk for twenty
four hours (skimmed milk. Then we take the
bones out, mincc it with the whites and yolks
Of two eggs, or boiled beets, and add the
mayonnaisc.
Russian herring salad is great favoritc
After the bones are taken out it is chopped UP
with cold boiled potatoes, apples and onions,
together. and then left standing in what we
call sour mayonnaise for twelve hours before
serving.
The use OF mayonnaise may seem extrava-
gant--unless you remember that its food value
is high, that its appeal to the appetite is great,
and that with any salad where it is used little
is needed besides bread and butter for sub
stantial meal
>MACARONI SALAD
Macaroni salad is one which have at least
every week. The macaroni is cooked until it is
very tender. When it is cold it is cut into half
inch pieces. Then it is mixed with sauce of
whipped cream, ground horseradish, a little
lemon juice and, what is peculiar to US in
Scandinavia, dash of sugar.
We use sugar in smaller quantities than YOU
do in our desserts and fruit sauces. But we
like a little of it with many vegetables
sprinkled upon roasted small potatoes, for in
stance. We even add it to our soups.
Vegetables from the soup of one day are
chopped up and allowed to stand in mayon-
naise overnight as the salad of the next day.
We use much more cold meat than you do, and
l am told that you are often surprised to sea
upon our tables cold fried outlets. or cold fried
fish. We can serve these fried things cold be-
cause we have never allowed them to be greasy
They are always placed upon paper to absorb
the extra grease before being served. Very
often we use a hot gravy with them.
With cream cheese, into which has been
stirred little thick cream-either sour or
swect-We serve chopped leeks or onions. We
often use this for sandwich filling.
THE SUBSTANTIAL HOT DISH
These are some of the cold dishes which wa
use at luncheon. But there must always IL
one hot dish: macaroni cooked in tometo sauce; :;
ham pie, which is made by chopping the boiled
ham and cold potatoes together, or it may be
11ecaroni and boiled ham, with white sauce
favored with onion, the top sprinklcd with
bread crumbs and put into the oven. Or, we
serve bot boiled ham with Madeira sauce, which
we make out of any meat gravy by adding a
wineglass of Madeira and pinch of mustard.
We thickcn it with rice or sago flour, more
popular in Denmark than white flour or corn
starch
And blood pudding, which my American
