Chiang Kai- shek, Chairman of the Military Affairs" Commisaton and · newly- appointed President of the Execu- tive Yuan, has no liking for any special dish. No-one has ever beard the Generalissimo ordering expensive food, and it is generally known that his menu is not ela- borate but that he insists that it should include a small dish of well-cooked green vegetables.
Gen. Chen Chi Tang's Menn Gen. Chen Chi-tang, Comman- der-in-Chief of the Kuangtung provincia; army and “strong man of the South," is fond of rare dishes, bia favourite being non-polson snake cooked with fox meat.
