Inspired Caesar Salad
long way from Origin
By MAXIN'E BUltEN .
Statesman Woman's Editor
Today we received a little- item that tells about how the orig.
Jnator of Caesar aalad. Caesar Cardmi happened to think up the
dish. He was recently honored by the International Society of
tpicurrs in Paris, who proclaimed his creation the greatest
original diah to come out of the United States in the past 50
years. r
Upon being Interviewed by the reporter of Fortnight maga
line, Caesar expressed regret it how many chefs have changed
his recipe, and wondered how it ever could have retained iu
. Identity. Others' add anchovies, asparagus, jam or just about
anything, declared the inventor. Characteristic of the Caesar
Salad as many folks maka it, is its raw egg. but tha originator
coddles his egg and expresses distaste at a salad concocted witli
uncooked egg.
The salad was created on a 4th of July, when stores were
closed and Caesar had to serve a crowd of guestj at his restau
rant So he made out with what was on hand.
He rubbed a bowl with garlic, broke up romaine, coddled
some eggs, soaked stale bread in olive oil. He toasted the bread,
mixed the eggs and romaine with vinegar and olive oil, added
some grated Romanello cheese, tested croutons and there was
the salad! .
To dramatize the meagre fare the salad was mixed at each
table by the waiter and it enjoyed immediate popularity.
Just for fun we looked up this salad in several of our tried
. and true cook books and came up with some pretty widely
varied concoctions. Closest to the original it in the Gourmet
Cookbook which says this is the way to make
Caesar Salad
Prepare two cup croutons by frying bread cubes over a low
flame in olive oil flavored with a split clove of garlic. Into a
garlic-rubbed wooden bowl tear two heads of chilled romaine
in medium-sized pieces and sprinkle with V teaspoon each dry
mustard and black pepper, Vx teaspoon salt to taste and W cup
grated Parmesan cheese. Add 6 tablespoons olice oil and the
juice of two lemons. Break 2 eggs (some chefs coddle them for
14 minutes) on the greens and tots enough to mix thoroughly
but not vigorously as to bruise the greens and until no trace
of the eggs is to be seen. The leaves should be coated but there
must be no excess of liquid in the bowl. Taste for seasoning. An
instant before serving, add the croutons, tosaing the aalad
briefly so they won't soften.
Several good standby cookbook authoresses had not heard of
Caesar salad at time of publication, but Mary Dahnke offers
this recipe in her Salad Book, and it varies considerable from
- the original:
Caesar Salad
Vs eup lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
Black pepper, salt i
Raw egg
1 3-oz. wedge Roquefort or
Blue Cheese
1 clove garlic, chopped
a cup salad oil
2 V? cups bread cubes,
toasted
2 quarts chilled salad greens
(head lettuce, water cress,
bibb lettuce, endive)
Add garlic to 'j cup of the oil, let stand several hours; re
move garlic and pour oil over toasted bread cubes. Toss well.
Tear salad greens into bite-sized pieces and place in a large
bowl with Jthe remainder of the oil and seasonings. Drop the
whole egg into the greens, sprinkle with lemon juice and add
the cheese. Toss salad until all greens are coated with dressing.
When ready to serve, toss croutons into salad mixing lightly.
In assorted pamphlets we find the suggested use in Caesar
talad, of anything the writer happens to be promoting. An
"authentic" Caesar salad might take tuna, ripe olives, sardines,
frankfurters snd even a dash of sour cream. But all of this over
the vehement protests of the man who really ought to know,
Caesar himself.

and also stalled. Ladies piled out
and p u s h e d,- even one clad In
housecoat and bedroom slippers..
A state highway truck scattering
sand was also stranded on the ice.
Still another car took to the ditch
to prevent hitting the women who
seemed to be. everywhere on the
hill.
A call was sent to the Wilson

jeeps converged on the scene and
began ferrying women on up the
hill to the Phillips residence.
With the aid of two pickups and
three jeeps, 22 ladies attended the
