What's Better Than Turkey
Neck When Cooked Properly?
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Dec. 23 (U-R There is nothing as delicious as a
turkey neck if you know how to prepare it.
The dope on how it's done comes from Anthony Rota, head
chef of the Willard hotel. He has been in this country 36 years
and he has broiled and stewed turkey necks around the world.
We got to talking about how
a turkey stays in tne average
ice box so long you begin to
consider it one of the family.
"How can you bet away from
gravy on turkey, gobbler livers
on toast and plain old hash?" I
asked.
"There are more pleasant
ways to get rid of the remains,"
Rota said, fingering his waxed
white mustache. "Ever heard of
wing-neck a-la-riviera?"
Battle of Beverages Shaping

world mixed in with currency juggling" abroad, gives the chance
to test the American taste for cotfee or tea as us lavorue noi
snl stimulating CUD.
Well, said the chef, it goes like
this:
Take some bay leaves, a few
slices of onions, a tablespoon of
flour, a tablespoon of curry
powder.
Kick it up into a batter and
simmer for two minutes and
then add Vi pint of milk. Then
take a turkey neck and two
wings already cooked and
steam and serve with steamed
rice.
Another way to get the fam
ily mind off slightly-used tur
key is to dice what's left of the
dark and white meat. Add some
red or green peppers ad mush
rooms, add two tablespoons of
butter and cook for 10 minutes.
Then put in three ounces of sher
ry wine and pint cream, plus
two tablespoons of flour and the
the yolk of an egg. Serve in a
patty shell and the folks won't
know they'rs eating turkey at
all, Rota says.
But one of Rota's favorites is
what he calls "turkey short cake
plantation."
You slice up what is left of
the turkey and slosh in half a
glass of white wine and a pint
of cream sauce. Then you bake
some corn bread and saw it up
into three inch squares. Then
you put the whole thing in the
oven and bake until it is a gold
en brown. Serve with sweet
potatoes, a slice of ham on top,
plus any kind of soft cheese.
It sounded good and it was.

Coffee men insist high prices

Tea men. jubilant that their
product has held fairly steady
in price since the summer oi
1947. after rising 44 per cent
above prewar days, are planning
drive next month to induce
Americans to switch from coffee
to tea. Of course, they've tried
this for years, but next month
they'll stress coffee prices as
their talking point.
What are American hot bev

about five to one for coffee.
Americans consume 2.6 billion
pounds of coffee a year enough
for about 100 billion cups. The
roasters think that figure should
grow to 3.9 billion pounds
more than 150 billion cups
despite recent crop declines in
Brazil. European consumption
this year is estimated at less than
a billion pounds, and is expected
to drop next year under the
weight of price Europeans just
don't have the money. But
Americans do, and roasters insist
that the big jump in prices in
recent weeks hasn t affected
sales.
Americans import less than
100 million pounds of tea a year
that makes about 20 billion
cups, the Tea Bureau, Inc., says,
if brewed properly. The bureau
says that so far this year the
sale of tea has advanced eight
per cent over last. The big
season is in summer, thanks to
that almost exclusively Amer
ican drink, iced tea. Tea men
count heavily on soaring coffee
prices turning many persons to
tea for the hot cup that cheers
in the winter time, and give sales
a pickup in this, their tradition
ally slack season.
Tea prices, steady since 1947.
might have gone up again this
fall, tea men say, except for the
British pound devaluation.
Britain raised the dollar price of
tea to take up most of the drop
in pound sterling value, but tea
men said the price readjustment
staved off a planned hike here
at retail level.
American tastes and ability
to pay high prices probably will
determine the probable course of
coffee prices and supplies, ac

Robbins, chief buyer of green
coffee for General Foods Corp
Although there is actually no
shortage of coffee supplies at the
present," Robbin says "there are
two distinct periods ahead dur
ing which an actual shortage
of coffee can occur May or
June of 1950, and February to
June, 1951."
World output today, he says,
is about 28 million bags, and con
sumption about 32 million bags.

Hollywood, Dec. 23 U-R This town's really gone crazy over
drive-ins. Now you can even shop for pianos and refrigerators
without once crawling out of the family jalopy.
The natives claim they have the first drive-in furniture
store in history.
And it's just one more splash
in the current wave of drive-in

If you wanta get out and feel

free cokes for the customers to

And if the kids get cantanker

$122,000. So I'm askin' ye, who's
