PUDDING PRIDE
AN UNFORTUNATE SIMILE The American weekly "Time," which has a reputation for attacking national klols and cherished convictions, is again in trouble. In a recent issue it declared that English music is "as iniligestible as Yorkshire pudding " Mr W. E. Priestley, of Seattle, Washington, U.S.A., has risen to defend, not English music, but Yorkshire pudding. Mr Editor, he Avrites, "I've eaten in three continents and in twenty different coun tries, and I think I know something about eating. My wife and I were both born in Yorkshire, and when you make a crack like that you are treading on very thin ice. Maybe the brand of Yorkshire pudding you' geti n New York is indigestible, but the kind of Yorkshire pudding such as my wife makes is a feast for the gods. After living in China and Alaska my stomach is not too strong, but T could eat my wife's Yorkshire pudding every day in the year and never suffer from indigestion."
