Globe Artichokes Are
Cousins Of ThistIes

Artichokes. in case you've
never tried to eat certain parts
Of the interior. are thistles. But
such thistles!
4 The ancients called the arti-
choke Cynara scolymus, named
after the lovely lady Cynara.
Legend has it that Cynara
reused the wrath of a diety in
her day and quickly became a
thistle or rather a very spe-
cial thistle, the artichoke. This
thistle spread throughout the
lands of Greece, Egypt, Asia.
Spain and Italy and later be-
came the popular food of the
Roman and French gourmets.
Ernest Dowson. translating
the poet Horace. says IT have
been faithful to thee, Cynara,
in my fashion" Today. perhaps
we might APPLY sing I'm al
ways true to you, darling, in my
fashion" when speaking about
our enjoyment Of that ancient
vegetable the artichoke, or Cy-
nara scolymus.
Actually the artichoke plant
is a large thistle, four to five
feet tall. whose flower is picked
before it is fully mature. A
perfect blossm should be globu-
lar in shape heavy and COM

green. tinged with faint touches
Of blue, violet. red or brown.
Western-grown artichokes are
easily prepared and can be
served in a variety Of tempting
ways. They are delicious when
cooked and offered as a hot veg
etable or a chilled salad, accom-
panied by mayonnaise or melted
butter in which to dip the leaves.
Stuffed artichokes are taste jim

How to Cook

Mixtures
AreGood

Now that seafood, fresh,
canned or frozen. Is SO widely
available, learn to experiment
with it in new and intriguing
ways. Fish or shellfish needn't be
served one at a time. You know.
Try experimenting with some
seasoned seafo0d stews,
in which a wide assortment goes
into the pot. You've heard of
bouilliabaisse and chioppino;
there are plenty of other seafood
mixtures just as good. And what
could be better for an informal
supper than a deep casserole of
mixed seafood, flanked by a
green salad. crisp french bread
and red wine?
The best part of these mix
lures is that they lend them
selves to improvisation. Don't be
afraid to substitute, if some in
gradients aren't available.
