Exotic Recipes
By SHELDON H. GARBER
United Press Correspondent
Chicago HP) Everyone talks
about the "same old food" every
night but no one does much
about it.
To counter this apathy, staff
members of the Chicago Natural
History Museum have collected
a few exotic recipes for those
who have the courage or the
capital to try them out.
Some recent Mexican imports
are fried grasshoppers. Done to
a crisp in oil and chili pepper,
they are "deliciously nut-like" in
flavor, said the explorers.
Fried umbrella ants are a fa
vorite snack in South America,
staff members reported. The lazy
chef can omit a few preparations
as do the Iroquois Indians of
northern New York and eat
them raw.
A second course might be
shark's fin soup, eaten in China,
or seal and walrus soup, an Eski
mo favorite.
To prepare the latter, merely
boil water, blood and blubber to
gether with chunks of walrus
and seal meat and serve.
A wealth of tasty dishes comes
from South America, said the
museum chefs. There are boiled
iguana, sauteed crocodile tail,
roasted armadillo or roasted paca
(a tender rodent).
Those with a bent toward the
elaborate might try mumu or
baked pig, a delicacy from cer
tain islands in the South Pacific.
Catch a wild pig, advised the
explorers, wrap him in banana
leaves, and place him on pre
heated rocks. Add some sand so
that no steam can escape. Cover
with burlap sacking and ignore
for several hours.
Serve with sweet potatoes,
on banana leaves.
Soursop, a relative of the cus
tard apple, is a large fruit of the
American tropics now grown in
tropical areas the world over, the
staff reported.
If these suggestions don't tickle
the palate of any would-be gour
met, he'd best trot right down to
the Greasy Spoon and sink his
teeth into an old reliable ham

So
Poitporairiri
Visitors from California and Texas brought variety to the news
room last week. First there was Marion Ross, in Medford for
the opening of a picture in which she was co-starred with Walter
Brennan, and later Potpourri met Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Hicks of
Abilene, Tex.
Miss Ross turned out to be pretty, intelligent and not too
"stagey." She sensibly didn't wear too much makeup and her
clothes were simple and girlish. But Miss Ross is glamorous
enough to set the eyes of the news room men to roving, and to
give two boys a thrill Tuesday night when they sat next her at
a dinner which Theater Manager Bob Corbin and his charming
wife gave at the country club. The Corbin's son. Bill, and the
Glenn Harrison's son, Scott, both 11-year-olds, were all slitked
up in honor of a "real movie actress" and the three had a lively
time.
The rest of us asked a lot of questions about movie stars and
since Miss Ross had recently been in a picture which starred
Clark Gable, there was much talk of him. Miss Ross said this
long-time movie favorite was always prompt, knew his lines, was
most business-like and worked hard. Miss R. said she frankly
wanted Mr. Gable to know she was in the cast, and maneuvered
to meet him. By way of opening the conversation she asked,
"What shall I call you?'" Mr. Gable considered only a short time
and then said, very courteously, "Since you will probably not
have an opportunity to call me anything, don't worry.about it."
Amused, but not deterred, Miss Ross had another bright idea.
Since it was the Easter season, she decorated an' Easter egg and
put on it, child fashion, "MR loves CG," and sent it to his dressing
room. This did win a friendly smile and special wave . of the
hand from CG when he next appeared on the set. "
The actress is married to Freeman Morse, an actor, and their
social names are Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Meskimen. Intrigued by
this odd name, Potpourri inquired the nationality and was told
that the family believes it was .originally "MacSimmon" and by
some means or other, it was corrupted into Meskimen through
centuries of useage. Miss Ross said she thought it had been a
mistake for her husband to abandon his real name for the 'stage
name. "Morse is just another name," she said. "Who could for
get a name like Meskimen?" (
Both Miss Morse and her husband played in the Shakespearean
festival at San Diego not long ago; Miss Ross was Olivia in
"Twelfth Nightf' with B. Iden Payne, who was at Ashland last
year, as director. Her husband played the clown in Jhe same play,
and also a role in "Taming of the Shrew." 1
Potpourri and Mr. Corbin took Miss R. to see "Othello"' and
after sitting through the performance, apparently enthralled, she
decided that on the basis of that pne play, anyhow, the acting in
Ashland is somewhat superior to that at San Deigo.
'
By some turn of the conversation, the group also talked of
Mr. and Mrs. William J. Webster of Arbroath, Scotland, who own
orchard property in the Old Stage road area. Mr. Webster's father
was Sir Francis Webster, and one of the family enterprises is a
factory where sails are made. When the Websters, who were
here last summer, sent out Christmas note last season to Medford
friends, Mr. Webster mentioned that the sails for the new May
flower were made at the family factory.
The new Mayflower was docked in New York harbor during
our visit, and almost everyone who saw the pretty little ship ex
claimed over its small size. None of the adults at the table
could remember how many passengers the original Mayflower
had brought to America, but Bill and Scott thought it was about
140.
During their news room visit, Mr. and Mrs. Hicks said they
"discovered"' the west coast a year or so ago when in Seattle at
a convention.' After staying briefly in southern Oregon on their
way home, they decided to come back this year and look around
perhaps buy a bit of property and come here to live when Mr. H.
retires next January. They like Grants Pass, Medford and Ash
land all very much, and were having a hard time deciding where
to settle.
Mrs. Hicks said "Our friends back home are beginning to say
we're disloyal to Texas, because we rave so about the beauties of
Oregon, and the wonderful summer climate. We should be paid
by the C. of C. we're so good at advertising your state." Mr.
Hicks, who works in the city hall of Abilene, said he had to go
out and buy a tweed jacket his clothes were too light for this
brisk summer climate, and the two of them were wondering how
to dress for the Shakespearean festival neither one had a top
coat and they had no car robes.
There must have been quite a bit of stage fright in Medford
the week of August 1, what with all the theatricals going on. We
know there was some among the youngsters who staged the neigh
borhood play on Vashti way. While Potpourri was running in
and out trying to set up a picture, one small shaver ran through
the kitchen door onto the patio, took one look and turned and
ran right back in the house.
He stopped, gulped and said in a shocked voice, "Why, there's
people out there!'" He was right. Before the play went on, about
50 residents of the neighborhood gathered for the event.- Mrs.
James Stewart, who engineered the whole performance, wrote the
script about what happens in a park or woods in the spring, wrote
or adapted words and music and made the costumes for 29 young
sters. Friends and parents of the children helped buy materials
and served refreshments after the play was over.
The former Darlene Kroening, who was married to William
Clegg Jr., August 3, wrote a little note to accompany her wed
ding questionnaire. "It may seem unusual, butl don't remember
too much about it (the wedding ceremony)," she wrote. From
our long experience with weddings and brides we can say that
it isn't at all unusual. Most brides and bridegrooms complain
afterwards that the entire ceremony went too quickly and that
what should be one of the most precious memories is nothing but
a blur. . , . O.S.
