Back Stairs: President's Midday Meal
Br WARREN DUFFEE
eUnited Press Correspondent
Denver (U.R) Backstairs at
the temporary White House:
It was President Eisenhower's
own idea to start having his
heaviest meal at midday during
his recovery at Fitzsimons Army
Hospital.
And it's not because cf his long
years in the Army, where the
noon meal is the sturdiest, or his
upbringing in small towns,
where the same custom often
holds true.
He just gets hungry.
The doctors don't mind. In
fact, they approved and the
President appears to be thriving
on it. However, the medics keep
a firm thumb on the calorie
counter and hold the President's
daily intake down to 1,600 cal
ories. So what sounds like a big
meal for the bed-ridden chief
executive isn't so huge when you
see the size of the portions.
The beef industry was caught
flat-footed but sprang back
with delight when the Presi
dent plunged beef bacon and
beef sausage into overnight popu
larity, by eating them daily in
stead of the usual pork products.
Jay Taylor of Amarillo, Tex.,
president of the American Na
tional Cattlemen's association,
exuberantly termed Mr. Eisen
hower "the greatest beef sales
man the world has ever known."
Beef bacon has been available
for years but was getting no
where against pork bacon. Last
year, the beef industry began
trying to popularize it as "break
fast beef." But the going was
slow until Mr. Eisenhower made
it a household word
Taylor admits that "unfortu
nately the flood of requests for
the bacon-like beef caught the
meat industry unprepared" and
that "many thousands are still
waiting to have their first, serv
ing of this taste treat."
He said butchers across the
nation have been flooded with
requests for beef bacon since Mr.
Eisenhower popularized it.
The President's'favorite of all
the music specially recorded for
soft playing in his room is
Brahm's Third Symphony.
Brahms and Bach are presi
dential favorites, and he spends
hours listening to selections from
both. Although the Third Sym
phony from Brahms is his first
choice, he also has on hand the
First, Second and Fourth symphonies.

Lots of Meat News
And Jl's All Good
If we needed any reassurance
as to' abundance of meat, foods
editors in Chicago heard a great
deal about it . . . from Swift
and Company, Armour and
Company, Wilson and Company
and the American Meat Insti
tute. Information ran something
like this:
Beef. Great quantities of beef
are expected to come to market
during the remainder of this
year and the early months of
1956. In addition to the sup
plies of lower grade, grassfed
cattle which normally reach the
market in the fall, the months
of October, November and De
cember will find meat markets
well stocked with top quality
branded beef cuts, selling at at
tractive prices.
Veal. From now on through
December, look for excellent
supplies of veal.
Lamb. There will be good
supplies of better grades of lamb
through October, November and
December.
Pork. Large supplies of pork
bearing economy price tags are
appearing on markets these
days. These excellent supplies
will continue on through this
year and may be expected to
continue through - the early
months of 1956, tapering off in
May. A particularly excellent
fresh pork value may be found
in such cuts as fresh picnic
shoulders and fresh skinned
pork shoulders. Fresh skinned
hams make wonderful budget
roasts. Smoked pork cuts such
as hams, bacon and picnics are
also tasty economy buys.
Poultry. A good supply of
turkeys will . continue. Holiday
tables this year, however, will
find lighter supplies of small-
grown Beltsville - style turkey.
In general the heavy breeds will
provide the best value. Look to
the 18 to 22 pound weights in
Tom turkeys for greatest econ
omy in holiday birds.
Chicken supplies continue to
be heavy. Broiler-fryer chick
ens are one of today's most econ
omical-buys.
Best Fruit Buys. Fill your
shopping bag with a variety of
choice apples. Valencia oranges,
grapes, Casaba and honeydew
melons and Italian plums are in
good supply. Fewer peaches and
pears.
Best Vegetable Buys include
cabbage, cauliflower, cucum
bers, corn, sweet potatoes, toma
toes, onions, winter squash and
celery.
Orient Excursion Offered
Coast-Favored Tidbits
After theater parties are fun
especially when you can chat
with scores of food editor
frjends who have just seen "Tea
house of the August Moon."
Ac'cent International was host
at a simply super party which
featured Far East tidbits which
in turn reflected age-old mono
sodium glutamate in its role of
making foods tastier.
Display of "nibblers" was
elaborate with our old west
coast friends, Rumaki and also
Teriyaki cooked on an hibachi
exactly like our Hawaiian pic
ture of recent date. So you
know about Teriyaki and here
is the recipe for Rumaki which
can be done with 20 walnuts
halves if water chestnut is not
available for slicing.
Cut 12 ounces (20) chicken
livers in half and sprinkle with
salt, pepper and one-half tea
spoon ac'cent. Melt two table
spoons butter; add two table
spoons minced onion and cook
until tender but not brown. Add
chicken livers; cook until just
tender. Fry bacon half done but
not crisp; drain. Place a liver in
center of bacon slice with a wal
nut half. Wrap bacon around
both; secure with a wooden pick.
Place under medium broiler heat
until bacon is crisp. Makes 20
"rumakis."
