DINNER-TABLE “TRAVELS”
PARISIAN DINERS GO ROUND WORLD Instead of making “arm chair tours” with the aid of travel books, Parisian members of the Societe d’Acclimatation make their annual gastronomic tour of the world. Once a year the organisation gives a luncheon pomposed of exotic dishes in order to permit untravelled members to taste the foods of far places. The menus include such unusual delicacies as birdnest soup, sharks’ fins, camel hump, whale steak and bear sirloin. This year’s luncheon began with Chinese sausage, composed of pork and soy bean cheese perfumed with attar of roses. Brazilian fish ragout was the next dish, followed by Bokhara wild sheep served with sweet potatoes and grass from Madagascar. Pig liver with sauce of Brazilian sweetmeat and soured milk from Kirghiz, in Turkestan, completed the menu.
