FB SECTION SALEM'S AUTHENTIC FOOD GUIDE TO BETTER LIVING Capital jk Journal Salem, Oregon, Thursday, June 7, 1951 FOOD SECTION There Are Ways to Stretch That Meat, Say the Experts Upside Down Meat Pie . .

But know your chili powder and as you add it make allowances for your particular variety; some brands of chili powder are much "hoter" than others. When it comes to stretching chicken or turkey add it to a cream sauce, then serve between split squares of corn bread; ac company It with currant jelly and a green salad, and you have a delicious main course. Dried beef in a tomato sauce (with onion and green pepper and maybe a little cheese) is al so good served over the corn bread squares.

It is interesting, therefore, to know where dill comes from. Dill seeds are a European native. It is a plant with pretty yellow flowers and more nearly resem bles caraway than anything else. The name comes from the Saxon word "dilla" to lull, because the seeds are sporific and were given to babies to make them sleep. Dill seeds arc ovular-shaped, ranging in size to about 316 inch in length and are tan in color. It is essen tial in making dill pickles, and is excellent in soups, salads, :auces, meats and fish.
