But if it is hard for foreign
visitors to keep up with the eat
ing and drinking habits of their
hosts, at least they can all find
something in the Soviet diet to
their liking. Q
Americans delight to discover
that they are not the only ones
who like substantial breakfasts.
Unlike most Europeans, who are
satisfied with a cup of tea and
a roll, Russians are likely to
consume a large bowl of por
ridge, a plate of fried eggs and
sausages, bread and tea. There
are even those who will like
cheese, caviar, fish or a meat
cutlet for breakfast.
The Russian cuisine is the
melting pot of many nationali
ties, and to prepare it well re
quires an artist's imagination
and training.
Basic Materials
An eloquent advocate of this
claim is Fedor Georgievich
Obryagin, head chef in one of
Moscow's oldest and most repu
table restaurants, the Grand ho
tel. With gray hair bristling
from beneath his white cap and
a modest figure which belies
the fact of having spent almost
a lifetime (jn the kitchen, Fedor
Georgievich delivered this brief
definition of the Russian cuisine:
"My basic raw materials are
butter, smetana (Russian sour
cream), potatoes, kasha (a
cereal), cabbage, several kinds
of fish (perch, salmon, sturgeon)
and meat (usually beef and
mutton). There are a few Rus
sian dishes which do not con
tain at least one of thee Ingredi
ents." He was not exaggerating in
the case of smflana. This sooth
ing substance, n$ quite like
anything el in the world, is
vital to Russian cooking as
olive oil is to the Italian. It
dresses salads, garnishes cheese
Bcakes and pancakes, decorates
borsch, and forms the basis for
many a meat sauce.
Judging by the number of or
ders in the Grand hotel, the
most popular hot dish among
Russians is "Kiev cutlet" white
chicken meat shaped, in the
form of a leg, fillets with melted
butter and fried in an evenly
browned crust.
A Typical Banquet
According to Fedor, another
favorite is so-called homemade
roast beef or mutton cooked
onions in a crockery jar resem
bling a flower vase. Many cus
tomers like solyanka which is
similar to homemade roast but
also includes cabbage and lots
of salt.
A typical banquet at .the
Grand hotel would begin with
an assortment of zakuski (hors
d'oeir?res) black caviar, cold
salmon, cfreh cucumbers, and a
mixed meat, potato, cheese and
mayonnaise salad.
Bouillon with pirozhki (small
meat filled cakes) would follbWj
Or perhaps borsch or shi' fa
vorite Russian soups made with
potatoes and cabbage.
The main course would most
likely be, if not Kiev cutlet or
1 solyanka, filet, beefsteak "natu-
! ralni" (without sauce or garnish)
or one of the common fish pre-
pared in casserole form or cook
! ed on a spike.
! Fdr his dessert, a Russian is
j apt to have ice cream, which

The office Christmas party is here to stay, ta rase anyone is
interested. This isa't Jxifft Potpourri's ojnien, either, but the
result of a Buqrver eCQduKtcd by tfee Natieaal Gsee Manatgemeat
aSwciatioia.
o o
DtftfMiBjg t fee r&f irficieat about tha whels aaattter, NOMA
atsi iS aurvfey jht after Christe test yar, and polled
iNwrt & &t&wsaj4 fir o all types i all Arts ea the Country.
About ei l&ree of the companies reported that they
plajaja J3 eERee CJiritmas porty m6r than three-fourths of
th ivUvm contacted sjQid tfcej- believe toe$t parties improve
employeei mo?alL
Liqjaor, ii seems, i Xht, oliet (Ajeeiion to tue partiei and
sorri executives expressed rfwetvtlione, ftbout the parties on this
basi. Sixteen per cent a4 thef favortct thf parties if liquor is
limited. Forty-four pes cent a!3 "liupr c a eves, jrofrlems" others
disapproved ot the events beciuwi, they "itrrr witk personal
time or ere a waste of time" sad ftbovt i5 Kfcr cegt said they
thought th Idea wae . poor one. baeciuse "employees age incompatible-
or have different idea-"
However, the aurvey Indicates that ?quo will be furnished
free1 by Over fcel of all companies a part oftfie refreshments at
their H37 parties. Another 19 pef cent aald tfiey will permit em
ployed either to bring or purchase alcoholic, Beverages for eon
umptioa at the party. However, Where the parties3 are heia on
company property, liquor Is "increeeingly frowned upon" and
half ef then parties will be -'dry" act&nllnf to the NOMA report.
Here arfr fr.ther interesting fettl flipped from the report. Tor
two out of every threpartie, trie complete tab will be picked
up py the employer; one ovit W Six companies expect the
empkye to beer the 'aole efpne and theremainder will ask
tha employee to ehere a part of the eost. Sixty-one per cent of
the flrm eaid they plea to hold their office party after working
houre; SO per cent ill be in the evening and 11 per cent on the
week end. About one-third will be held on the last wprking day
before Christmas.
e
. Very few cdmpenies permit children; about half of the firms
limit attendance to employees; of the remainder, most companies
believe it promotes good will to invite the employee's husbands,
wives and sweethearts. .
Only about a third of the companies having the parties will
hold them on company property the majority will go to a res
taurant, hotel, club or other location. And wherever the party is
held, less than one in 10 companies require the employee to attend.
NOMA ended the report by saying that "One thing seems
sure from the survey. There is a definite trend toward more
office Christmas parties and once' a company starts having office
parties, the chances are 99 44100 per cent that they will con
tinue to hold them."
Mrs. Norma Burroughs, publicity chairman of the local NOMA
chapter, brought in the report two or three weeks ago but Pot-
kpourri has firmly been refusing to print a lot of Christmas ma
terial in November. We're probably stubborn, if not even old
fashioned and backward, but enough is enough.
Maybe visiting the United States gave Queen Elizabeth some
new ideas. Last week it was reported frona L6ndbn that the ,ueen
and her sister, Princess Margaret, had worn the most daring
dresses of their social careers at two recent formal functions, and
that the queen had ignored the advice of court officials and in
vited Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco to luncheon.
The queen's dress; worn to a reception at a British museum,
was "a full-skirted white tolle cut low in thf, front and the back
and precariously held up by two tiny jeweled straps" one press
report said. The same night Princess Margaret appeared at a
students' ball wearing e strapless blue satin gown. The reporter
commented that it was probably just as well that the sisters
didn't appear at the same function since "the joint effect of ftieir
ultra modern3 clothes might have been too electrifying."
Saturday a British columnist, Henry Fielding, was quoted by
United Press as saying that "Queen Elizabeth has Qound a re
freshing new friend her owy age in Princess Grace of Monaco."
The columnist declared that the two "hit it of fc very well" and
"they (Princess Grace and Prince Rainier) left with promises to
see each other ajiin. And the Queen -was most feappy about the
meeting."

Whe9i Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Phipps and Mr. and Mrs. MacLeod
Maurice invited friends to a dinner at the Country club Friday,
they purposely didn't tell anyone that the event celebrated their
respective fortieth wedding anniversaries. Butomehiow, the news
leaked out to a few, snd at least one couple showed up with
presents. Frances and Al Littrell presented each pair of hosts With
what appeared to be an outsize convention badge. Made by Mrs.
L. of garnet red velvet (the fortieth anniversary is garnet) the
badges were adorned with pictures of each couple and turned
out to be the conversatioji pieces of the evening. O.S.
