New Orleans is preparing an effec
tive answer to the well-known army
question, when do we eat?' The
reply will be ready for thousands OF
members of the Amrican Legion who
go to the Crescent City for that or
ganization's annual national conven
tion October 1920. Delectable old
time Spanish and French creole
dishes. instead of the ordinary vict-
uals on the menu will appease the
appetites, the restaurant men say.
Descendants of old creole cooks and
those whom they taught the myster-
les of preparing famous dishes will
concoct the ''gumbo filet." "jamba-
layas," "courtboullion,' "entremets"
and creole desserts" especially for
the veterans at the convention.
French drip coffee, aptly termed the
morning joy" will be served, it is
rumored, early in the morning at the
visitors bedside. No careless hand
can make a perfect salad. It looks
simple enough when watching the
cook throw in dash of this, pinch
of that and pour in vinegar and oil
with seeming abandon. Yet the cook
has acquired by long practice the
simple touch that produces a master
piece. Only artists will make the sal
ad for legionnaires. Gumbo is a de-
licious soup that belongs particular
ly to the New Orleans cuisine. It
is product of both the Spanish and
French types of cooking, but belongs
distinctively to neither. The filet
used to thicken the soup is a pow
der made from the leaves of sassa-
fras trees gathered and dried when
very young and tender Sea foods
are a staple, but are found prepared
in such enticing fashion and are so
delicately seasoned that the appetite |
for them is never dulled. There is |
high voltage joy in masticating a !
mess of river shrimp, trout with tar
tar sauce or soft shell crab served |
in the New Orleans way. Restau-
rants are making preparations to feed |
the 10000 guests expected Tables
are to be placed on the sidewalks and
every available space that can be
utilized for the quick serving of
meals will be employed There are
scores of little French and Italian
table d'hotes which serve a substan-
.ial meal at a reasonable price.
