  40. SALADvS 107

  41. 'It's in the spring man's appetite fondly turns to salad greens.

  42. The word salad signified originally something eaten with salt. We cannot eat our salad nowadays simply with salt, and we do not agree with the salad connoisseur who says " The simpler we eat it, the better; a salad of crisp, fresh greens dressed with French dressing is far better than the more com- plicated and elaborate ones." Lettuce has the approval of cen- turies behind its use, for it was known on the royal table of Persians some four centuries B. C. The Greeks used lettuce, too, and it has been used in all lands and ages since then. It has been said, also, that our earlier ancestors knew nothing of the cool, wholesome salad. We are indebted to an English queen, one of the numerous spouses of Henry VIII for its introduction to England. The historian Hume states that it was not until the end of the reign of this monarch that " Any salads, carrots, turnips or other edible roots were produced in England." Queen Catherine, when she required a salad, was obliged to send a messenger over the sea to get it, so to avoid the inconvenience, her Majesty ordered her gardeners to pro- duce the required vegetables at home in her gardens."

  43. The best salad makers in the world are the French and the Italian. The French salads are conceded to be the best in the world, but without their fragrant herbs (and these little salad herbs are of great importance to their salad mak- ing), they would be quite like the English ones.

  44. The English are not good salad makers and that is why the native New Englander, descended from good old English stock, even today eats milk on lettuce or thinks it fine with vinegar and sugar. Milk, or sugar and vinegar, of course, are all right, but they would not be chosen in this day by the chef who makes an art of salads.

  45. CLUB HOUSE COOK BOOK

  46. Salads that contain various mixed vegetables may truly be called Italian, for all eatable odds and ends are made into salads by this thrifty people.

  47. Good materials, good methods combined with intelligence and attention to small details, are all that is necessary to make a salad which will be delicious, delicate and appetizing. The list of salad greens in the spring is a long one, and the methods by which each may be prepared are numerous, but here is a small list of some of them : Endive, chicory, cresses, water-cress, nasturtium is really one of the cresses ; in Eng- land it is called Indian-cress ; dandelion greens, sorrel and celery, all can be eaten with French or mayonnaise dressing. Some of the cooked greens can be included in the list. Spinach, kale and okra pods.

  48. Mayonnaise No. 1 — One teaspoonful each of mustard, salt, and powdered sugar, a few grains of cayenne, yolks of 2 eggs, juice of ^ lemon, 2 tablespoonfuls vinegar and 1^/^ cups of olive oil. Take yolks of eggs, stir them a little, add dry ingredients, then a little vinegar, a little of the olive oil, and a little of the lemon juice until all is used up.
