Pleasures of Eating
ME: J. D. McDONALD’S 3YA Table Talk wins a reluctant admiration from me. His knowledge of the ways of preparing fish, flesh and fowl leaves me aghast at the possibilities. The series of talks is delivered with an almost gurgling relish, which brings the food like a mirage before the eyes. I remain nevertheless fascinated rather than converted, not because Mr. McDonald lacks talent, but because I, presumably, belong to a different food group whose ideal lies in the fresh fruit and vegetable realm. Descriptions of cooked foods invariably pall on me, whereas the variations which might be dealt with in fresh raw foods continue to whet my imagination. Moreover, where there is a garden of any appreciable size, quite exciting meals of this kind can be provided far more cheaply than those on Mr, McDonald’s menu. In any case, I am keeping my fingers crossed in the hope that some day a champion of my own cause will take the air with a competence equal to that shown by Mr. McDonald.
