differences Of taste and prac-
a tice and of terminology con-
cerning the simple product "corn
meal" From the darkey's hoe cake,
baked in the ashes, to the delicate
spoonbread there are many varia-
tions; and apparently If the North
and the South had no other differ
ences they might get up a culinary
war on the relative merits of white
and yellow corn meal, terminated
and not germinated, finely and
coarsely ground.
There are always local styles in
foods. And the South eats. it's corn
meal white and finely ground, with
the germ carrying It's valuable fat
and minerals, if possible. And it is
more often possible in the South,
because the germ doesn't travel we'll
and spoils if it must go far or re-
main too long on the shelf. Rhode
Island curiously enough, is the one
Northern state that votes with the
South for white corn meal.

~ ROLLING and roasting are
X commonly conceded to be top

both from The health and the gusta-
tory point Of view. The temptstion
to use the frying pan, rather than
The oven and broiler, is great--time

and their absorption by the foods,

broiled steak or chicken has 4 deli

Why a ''Broilct'>?

Best BroiIing Heats

The engineers tests showed that
a four-inch burner turned on full
gave $50 degrees as the highest tenn
perature reached four inches from
the base and $50 degrees near the
top (nine inches from the basel. A
six-inch burner half on gave $50 de-
grees and 440 degrees as the highest
heats at top and bottom of burner,
but ON full $40 degrees and 600 de-
grees {the latter still rising) were
obtained.
This is with the food in the broilet
and shows that excellent broiling
temperatures are easily obtained
and that the thicker portions of the
meat to be cooked should be placed
at the top of the broilet.
AS the following experiments in
dicate, one should, as in general
practice, use very high heat at
first to scar, brown and retain the
juices, and follow with & medium,
heat for completing the cooking.

good-sized steak or six small pieces
OF toast; or four large ones could be
accommodated. The toasting was

cakes, mullins and waffies, to which
the dried fruits, dates, figs and raj
sins may be added.
For lunch and dinner we have
dishes such as chicken and meal
croquettes, dumplings, scrapple and
again the breads, which include the
Boston brown bread, and puddings,
such as the Indian, fig and molasses
corn cake.
Fine Ground and White
In the dishes of the South. where
the finely ground meal is used, no
previous cooking is given, as must
be done when coarse meal is en-
ployed. For instance, these corn
meal and rice griddle cakes can be
mixed and baked In ten minutes:
Cornmeal and Rice Griddle Cakes
4 cupful fine white teaspoonfuls
cornmeal baking powder
1a cupful flour l teaspoonful salt
/ cup cold boiled 2 eggs,
rice | cup sweet milk
Sift together the dry materials.
Stir in the beaten egg yolk, which
has been mixed with the milk. Add
the rice Lastly fold in the stitTly
beaten egg whites and bake at once
on hot griddle.
Another hastily made dish is the
delicate spoon bread 50 dear to the
SoutherneTs. especially if served
with salt herring. The texture cf
this bread is so fine as to be cross
Virginia Spoon Bread
:. cup fine ground 2 eggs,
white cornmeal cups butter
/ teaspoonful salt milk,
tablespoonful of 1 teaspoonful of
butter soda
Pour the buttern1ilk into the we'll
beaten eggs. Stir this into the corn
meal and salt. Add the melted but
ter and soda, which has been dis
solved In quarter of a cupful of
warm water. Pour into a creased
baking dish and bake in a 375-de-
gree oven for about forty minutes.
Other aliases Of this spoon bread.
as the South knows it, are batter
bread and corn-egg bread, for it
must be served with a spoon, as It
IS not quite stiff enough to be cut as
bread.
The Coarse Yellow Meal

bread made Of the coarse yellow

away toward the sides and bottom.
Always be sure that the broilet IS
centered over the flame or one side
will be browner than the other.
The best work was done with hahn,
steak, chops and fish.
After ten minutes cooking a gem
erous slice of ham was deliciously
broiled, very little smoking accom-
panied the process and the large
burner Of the gas stove was used
slightly below full heat.
A lamb chop was cooked through
after six minutes over the same
burner and was perfectly broiled in
eight minutes.
Cooking Fish and Steak
A small fresh mackereI was
broiled for nine minutes, with the
result that it was light brown all
over and thoroughly done. One or
two minutes less might have been
sufficient, but more browning was
desired.
In seven minutes small porter
house steak tabout two pounds) was
perfectly done. 1t was ptit on Sor.
four minutes over the full flame and
then finished at half heat. The steak
was nicely Drowned outside and rare
inside; no juice escaped into the
drip pan, but about two tablespoon
fuls Of fat collected.
The broilet is moderately high
priced, but the cost Of use is low,
for instead Of needing two oven
burners. as in the case of oven broil-
ing, one surface star burner Is suf-
| ficient.

Different Kinds of Corn Meal and How to Use Them

after baking.
Sweet Milk Corn Bread
2 cups yellow corn meal
cup wheat -four
2 cups milk
"a cup sugar
teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3 teaspoons baking powder
Sift together the com meal, flour.
sugar, salt and baking powder. Add
the eggs, well beaten, and the milk
and bake one-half hour in a nloder-
ate oven.
In this case the corn meal can be
cooked for short time with the milk
if a softer bread is desired. This
serves eight people.
In further contrast to the recipes
just given is the method found to
be the best with the coarse yellow
meal, involving a longer time of
cooking TO soften the grain. 1t
seems necessary on account. of flavor
to have the mush boil, but it can
just as we'll boil at the end as at
the beginning; therefore, to pour
both the meal and cold water or
milk into the top Of the double
boiler and let it heat UP gently
will make stirring unnecessary and
the danger of Jumping is avoided.
In making the cheese corn meal
mush let the boiling come just before
The cheese is added. And if served
hot, sprinkle also with grated cheese.
Parmesan would be especially good.
Corn Meal Mush With Cheese

! teaspoon salt
cups milk, or 3 4 Of water
Put this on in q double boiler and
allow it to cook for four hours.
Stir into this one-half cupful 1.-TWO

mold, and when cold fry in deep fat

'ture Of the product of course varies
greatly with the grinding, but the
analysis, the food value Of the two,
is practically the same, depending
not on color or variety, but on the
taking eout or leaving in Of the
germ, which is the heart of the corn,
carrying the vitamines Especially
in the yellow VARIETY and the fat,
as we have said before. Such germ
bearing corn is much more nutri-
tious, but It will turn rancid in two
months time, even if very dry, and
sooner if it is moist. For this rea-
son one must order whole corn meal
direct, and in small quantities, or
live near a corn mill in order to get
this whole grain!

The Heart of the Corn Left In

The samples examined in chemi-
cal laboratory and kitchen were
representative Of these different
types Of meal. Look, for instance,
at the two samples of Great Valley
Mills, which may be ordered direct,
parcel post, from the mill, and are
representative of the yellow and
white corn meals, With the germ left
in, and dried out to prevent spoil
age The Great Valley white corn
meal, finely ground and very dry
(only 10 per cent Of moisture), had
SO per cent of fat, and 1.25 of
minerals, with OF Of protein. Such
a meal is very nutritive, but the
government experiments show that
even when dried to II per cent of
moisture it would become rancid in
five months and be over acid in
two months. One must handle whole
corn meal, with all its germ fat, as
one would cream. especially in a
warm climate, whereas the degermi-
mated grain will keep like butter,
comparatively speaking, but neither
one should have more than 10 to IA
per cent of moisture.
The yellow corn meal showed only
a slight variation from these figures,
"a little less fat (most people think
the yellow meal is richer, but this is
not so, though it may have higher
vitamine contentl, 3.3 per cent:
more protein, 90 per cent, and less
minerals, 1862 These are maximum

degrees in three minutes. This
shows that in two to three minutes

refinements of effect for speed,
could put the meat into the broilet
