Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mrs. Clarke´s Cook Book: Containing, Over One Thousand of the Best Up-to-Data Recipes for Every Conceivable Need in Kitchen and Other Departments of Housekeeping There is a beautiful legend that tells how Elizabeth of Hungary having been forbidden by her lord to carry food to the poor was met by him one day outside the castle walls as she was bearing a lapful of meat and bread to her pensioners. Louis demanding sternly what she carried in her robe, she was obliged to show him the forbidden burden. "Whereupon," says the chronicler, "the food was miraculously changed for his eyes to a lapful of roses, red and white, and his mind disabused of suspicion, he graciously bade her pass on whithersoever she would. It would be well for some husbands if "their eyes were holden" in such a way that food served them would seem other and better than it really is. But the sense of taste is a rebellious member-especially in the men. It will cry out against the best appearing dish, if its flavor is not of the best There is but one way to sure success. Tho housewife herself must be the angel who casts the spell about the humble board and the lowly fare, and invests them with forms and odors of irresistible attractiveness. This is the true poetry of Domestic Cookery; and blessed is the home where one presides who knows this art, and makes each meal a feast and every guest a glad participant. But things do not always take so happy a form. For instance: there was recently a brutal murder in Troy, N. Y., and a paper, reporting the case, clumsily said: "A poor woman was killed yesterday in her own home, while cooking her husband´s breakfast in a shocking manner." Quoting this statement, a contemporary remarked: "There are many women who cook their husbands´ breakfasts in a shocking manner, but it is seldom that justice overtakes them so summarily." The subject is a serious one to joke over, but the turn given by the commenting paper is bright and suggestive.
