o TWO MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, October 8, 19SS Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Feed Edrter From the land of siestas and sombreros comes a peppy season ing which was present in the first Mexican cookery. It's chili powder, an unusually good sea soning for meat and fish dishes, Today we use it in a recipe for plentiful shrimp and suggest that rice, which is also abundantly available, is a perfect accompan iment for shrimp. In fact, rice is a fine accompaniment for any meat, fish, shellfish, poultry or anything else handy to your menu-planning. - , Shrimp is "America's favorite crustacean." Approximately SO per cent of the total production is sold either iced or quick-frozen. Shrimp is sold according to size ranging from 15 and under per pound to 31 to 42 per pound The largest are the most expen sive which seems reasonable since it takes less time to pre pare for cooking 15 ' than 30 shrimp. But there are those who think the smaller- shrimp are sweeter tasting and -we're sure that the shrimp harvesters are glad of this. Generally speaking, the larger size shrimp wind up in restau rants, the smaller ones in your and my kitchens.

' 11 Rice is reliably reported to be the world's greatest crop, ex ceeding either wheat or corn. It is the staple food of the greatest number of people with over half the world's population eating rice three times a day as the main item of diet. And this year's crop is a record-breaker with 63,000,000 hundred-pound bags grown right here in the United States. Kinds of Rice. Though many kinds of rice are in the market, the most widely used is plain white rice. White milled rice falls into three types: Long grain, medium grain and short grain. Converted rice is the type that has been treated so that the B vitamins and minerals remain in the rice granule. Pre-cooked rice is also packaged. Brown rice has a nutty flavor and more nutrients than white rice, but doesn't keep as well and needs longer cooking time. Chili Powder Has Pep You may wonder why we dragged chili pepper into this at this point. Chili powder is a favorite of west coast cooks; adds unusually good seasoning to both shrimp and rice for our "Fiesta, A blend of spices, usually chillies, cumin seed and oregano, chili powder is excellent also in egg dishes, omelettes, with all shellfish, in oyster cocktail sauces, gravy and stew season ings, ground meat or hambur gers. Commercially, chili sea soned foods are third largest in the meat category which includes the tremendously popular chili con came, of course. Chili Shrimp Show-Off First cook the shrimp. For each four servings, cover three- fourths pound raw shrimp with coia water; aaa one Day ieai, one-fourth teaspoon garlic salt, one teaspoon chili powder, one fourth teaspoon- salt and two whole cloves. Bring to a boil and simmer about five minutes or until shells turn pink.

Add remaining ingredients ex cept shrimp. Heat slowly till heated through, stirring fre quently. Add shrimp and heat gently. If large shrimp are usd, cut Into i-inch pieces. Leave small shrimp whole. A little chili powder adds an extra touch to the barbecue sauce used for cooking spareribs, shortribs, frankfurters and ground beef patties; does some thing special to meat stews and pies, meat sauces and gravies. Try sprinkling pork chops with chili powder after browning, then add a little liquid such as tomato juice and cook covered, until tender. Or mix chili pow der with flour, salt and pepper in flouring a pot roast or Swiss steak. - ' Plentiful Shrimp Get Butterfly Treatment As you know, the shrimp industry is in the midst of spon soring a "Shrimp 'n' Rice Fiesta" which is a fine idea be cause rice goes with shrimp like pepper goes with salt. They're a natural! Ways with shrimp are many, but we doubt if any recipe surpasses in popularity good old trench fried shrimp served with a lively tart ketchup sauce and plenty of lemon wedges . . . and accompanied by rice! Lately it is the fashion to "butterfly" shrimp. This is done by removing shell, leaving tail shell on. With a sharp knife, slit along back of the shrimp, cutting almost through. Wash away sand vein.

You'll Be Sorry You'll be sorry if you don't get your fill now of all the marvelous melons: cantaloupes, honeydews, Persians and cranshaws. Soon you'll look around the market and there'll be hot a single one in sight and- you'll ask and then you'll wish you'd enjoyed them more often. You'll be sorry if you haven't made tile most of corn-on-the-cob. It lingers on in good supply., but is at, its best right now. Still reasonable enough to consider canning and freezing. - You'll be sorry if the season of the luscious Bartlett pears speeds past without your enjoying them daily out-of-hand, in salads, des serts. Last call coming up pretty soon for canning and freezing supplies. Subcommittee investigators said Chicago is apparently one of the chief distribution points for the propaganda; which has found its way into colleges, uni versities and public libraries. Jenner To Conduct The hearings were to be con ducted by Sen. William E. Jen ner (R-Ind.), and witnesses were to include customs and post of fice experts and officials of-five foreign language newspapers in Chicago. . . -. The newspaper officials were called to determine whether any foreign language publications here are parroting the Commun ist line, subcommittee investiga tors said.
