Thought for Food
"THE SMILING STOMACH’S rather an odd title, I suppose, but I’m rather proud of it. I like to think of him as a jolly fellow. Critical, inquisitive, but at heart (if I may say that of a stomach) a good-humoured colleague if he’s treated the right way. Or, on the contrary, a churlish, and indignant rebel if he’s abused or neglected." So begins a new series of talks, Towards the Smiling Stomach, by G. C. A. Wall, which starts in Mainly for Women from 3YC on Tuesday, August 7. Arnold Wall’s idea, as a devoted student of cookery in several countries and climes, is that we know very little, as practical New Zealand cooks, about "designing" a meal. Our stomachs realise better than we consciously do that certain types of food cry out for other foods to contrast with them, such as fatty meats with acid sauces in the same course, and that cold meats are better teamed with hot puddings, or, in very hot weather, with something really cold, like a chilled pudding or soup.
