FOODS NO LONGER IN USE
Vegetables and Meats, Familiar In the
Middle Ages, Have Disappeared
From Modern Menu.

II the art Of cooking has declined.
II is in part due to the changing fash
Ions In food. For instance, In Ger
many in the middle ages many vege-
tables were eaten which have long
since disappeared from the table. such
az violet leaves, mixed with young net
ties, and green wheat, and boiled hemp
seed. Salads were made OF mallow
leaves. celery roots. and purslane,
mixed with salt and pepper. for oil was
almost unknown. Olive oil was con-
sidered to smack Of eifeminacy and
italian luxury. Horseradish sauce
was used instead.
The origin Of sauerkraut is lost In
antiquity. But II was certainly made
by the German hausfrau long before
caulifiowers or artichokes or potatoes
were known. The potato revolution
lied the fare Of the poor. who had for
merly to rely on the roots Of wild
plants. The variety OF meats was
larger, including beavers. and In Berne
bears were kept for food. Spices and
aromatics were much sought after and
far more used for cooking. Ginger
and nutmegs were used to favor many
dishes that have now vanished from
om tables.

EnaIIsh Writer 0ess Par Back 70
Trace Custom 50 Popular In
That Country.

Lamb Is the only meat with which
mint sauce is partaken, and England is
the only country where the custom Is
practiced.
The latter fact seems to disprove the
idea that 1t originated with the Jews.
else II would have been adopted In
other countries where the race FREEDOM
mates to an even greater extent than
In our own. Hence, also, II could not
have originated or been associated
with the bitter herbs" which were
eaten with the Paschal lamb.
When one remembers what are the
vegetables usually eaten with lamb, we
get clue to mint sauce. And II is
one that leads US to what is probably
the true reason Of Its combination with
lamb. New potatoes and green peas
are the adjuncts lmmemorial time has
led us to associate with the flesh OF
the lamb. These, our forbears de-
cided. were provocative OF Indigestion.
and therefore an adjunct must be In
troduced to correct this tendency.
Mint during all ages has been asso-
clated with such an Office. The Latin
poets have broken into song regarding
its merits, and the giver Of feast
never thought Of laying the meat on
the table until the boards had been
secured with this herb. &c. In add
ton to being corrective. mint had a
reputation as an appetizer. Gerarde
says, ''The smell Of mint doth stir up
the mind and the taste to q greedy
desire Of meat."-London Tit-Bits.
