Pag 6) Europe, the Frnch riousewife goes to one shop for her baked goods, another for her meat, an other for het tnilk. butter and eggs and Mill another for her fruit and vegetables. She usually does her shopping on. foot. Very few French wom en drive, and every n'ichbor hood hat its little cluster of Mar kets. French bread has a thick crut. a rough texture and a good fla vor, and. of course. French pas tries are famous. I noticed that nearly every thing here is cooked in butter. Each individual food is served separately to preserve its own tpecial flavor. The staple drink with every meal Is wine. A quart bottle of ordinary red wins costs only 22 cents. French food, is so rich, the sauces in particular, that some people drink mineral water in stead of wine. They do not care - for milk. "Milk is for children.". I they say. Water "rusts vour in I sides." - ; The French use little canned food and think we use far too 'much of it. A French horriemaker . j always makes her own vegetable soup, aiinougn some.workins women use powdered or pack aged dry soup. Breakfast is small. The big meal comes at noon. Dinner itaits about 7:30 or 8 p.m. ' : French people entertain rare ly because dinner with' guests is such a formal affair, with as many as eight courses. Soup, hers d'oeuvres. fish or fowl, meat and vegetables, salad, cheese, dessert end coffee follow each other one at a time. Such a dinner takes' ai full ' day or more to prepare. There is very little installment buying, .The French are very thrift and very proud, taking the attitude. "If we can t afford it,' we'll wait until w have the cash."
