Christmas day In America, while
National feast day and a time of
joyous hearts and cheerful giving,
nevertheless has its problems, es
pecially for the hostess who must
plan the Christmas dinner. Follow
ing Thanksgiving by barely a
month as It does, it offers the ques
tion of whether fowl or beast shall
be served, and what kind.
While Thanksgiving is traditional
ly national turkey day, the bird also
has its proponents during the
Christmas season. Christmas din
ner, however, by virtue of its world
wide rather than national observ
ance, as in the case of Thanksgiv
ing, allows of a vastly wider range
in choice of the piece de resistance,
not being bound by the tradition of
strictly national custom.
Substitution of another meat for
turkey at Christmas may be found
in the desire of the hottest to avoid
duplication of the Thanksgiving
menu, or In the effect of much
Christmas giving on the family
purse.
StiU another reason may lie In
the fact that if one Is to keep with
in a budget of 11.00 or less ner ner-
son, some cheaper meat must be
substituted to offset the seasonal
general Increase In the cost of fresh
vegetables.
Roast goose will offer a Juicy mor
sel, and may well be supported by
Christmas tradition of virtually all
niHuiwo fiuropean countries,
well In earlier American his
tory. Prevailing prices In Salem will
range from 29 cents per pound to
ou ana m cents lor best grades,
trailers report.
For the balance of the meal, some
tendency may be noted to avoid to
some extent, the richer foods, but
this Is explained on the ground that
mere is considerable temptation to
eat quantities of nuts, candies, and
similar confections, whenever the
desire Is felt, and the dinner should
consist to some extent of wholesome
fruits and vegetables sufficient to
offset possible unpleasant effects of
wo ncn iooa.
Tuna cocktail is not arbitrary, but
may oe sunsututed bv anv sea food.
or light soup. If fruit is desired, it
win appear evident that some wise
substitution of pudding, cake or
pie could be made in the dessert
course, to avoid too much similarity
in courses.
A desirable substitution of some
form of cabbage, asparagus, or some
other good vegetable may be made
for cauliflower, which is rather
high in the local market, about me
dium heads averaging 25 cents each.
Cranberries show little change. I
except in nominal instances, retail-, i
ing at 25 cents per pound and two
xor 4t cents.
Pineapple whip, while It may be
made either as a rich dessert or
fruity enough to classify as a glori
fied salad, may be made successful,
ly. as follows: Soak one box of gel
atin in one-half cup of milk half
an nour. neat pint ot cream suit,
and add cup of sugar. Heat milk
and gelatin and mix witn cream.
Add can ol chopped or crushed pine
apple as desired, also the juice if
desired. Add chopped marshmel
lows and walnuts as desired. Let
cool and serve. This will stand sev
eral hours, however.
This recipe may make a little more
than is desired for eight people, but
it retains its attractiveness until
the next meat
It is believed that 50 cents worth
of salted almonds will satisfy the
after- dinner desires of the average
group of eight, although any quan
tity or kind may be used.
