Oysters r. Here Again!

They say 1t took brave man to
eat the first oyster, and maybe 1t
debut that mans descendants
have had no qualms about following
his example in every part of the
world where the "succulent bivalves"
are to be found. From the writings
of Pliny We find mention of the
tame oyster beds and oysters Of
Lake Lucrinus, greatly admired by
the old Roman gourmets-and those
fellows were gourmets and gour-
mands as well-that contributed
much to those famous Roman feasts.
Before the war, many an Ameri-
can had a chance to compare the
coppery little oysters dredged up of
the French and English coasts with
the tiny Olympias from our Pacific
waters and their larger brethren on
our Eastern shores. Among epicures
there has long been argument as to
which of these last were the best
the long mammoth Lynnhavens, the
plump Chincoteagues, the salty Cape
Gods and Blue Point-as we'll as the
carefully cultivated and highly aris-
tocratic Robbins Island, Gardeners
Bay, Sea Tags and so on.

and when the "R" months roll
around, after summer of dearth,
the restaurants go to town on
oysters in a big way.
For instance, in Philadelphia, they
have way of frying oysters that Is
extra special. It's simple enough but
somehow the flavor is better than
that Of any other fried oysters I've
ever encountered.
The oysters are simply fried light
ly in butter until the edges have
curled and the oysters are a nutty
brown. For two dozen oysters, about
half glass of oyster liquor Is
poured over them after they are
fried and they are seasoned with
pepper and a little lemon juice.
Then they are poured over slices of
freshly made buttered toast and
served with wedges Of lemon on the
side.

marked effect on supplies of fish and

as this is written, the fish picture is
still in the clouded crystal ball de-
partment, and dealers are not sure
Of just what stock they will have

orders in as early as possible, and
they will try to fill them-but no
promises are being made. / imagine
that it will be mostly matter of
last-minute deliveries, and taking
what you find when you get to the
store
There seems to be a pretty ade-
quate supply of fruits and vegeta-
bles, but quality-especially in the
former line-up-has suffered from
the storms There is some good
white and yellow squash on hand
and fair assortment OF various
greens. Corn is poor, but peas, snap
beans and limas are good buys.
Caulif1ower from Long Island is
quite good, as is cabbage from
New York State. Some brussels
sprouts are worth buying-but pick
them carefully. Broccoli is good this
week. Green peppers, acorn squash,
eggplant and lettuce, both garden
and iceberg, are being received in
good condition.
Fruits in general have not suf-
fered much, with the exception OF
those grown nearby-such as the
Concord Delaware and Niagara
grapes. More grapes from Califor-
nia-notably Tokays-have been
coming in. but shipments of the
