HOW HONGKONG CAN SOLVE THE
EMPIRE MEAL PROBLEM
It is a trite saying that the Empire's food resources are boundless, but, for all that, it is a statement of sober fact. There is nothing which mankind needs that cannot be found in some part of the British Empire. Thanks to rapid transport and cold storage facilities, most of the Empire's products can now be obtained in Hongkong: many of them will be on display at the Empire Fair in the Peninsula Hotel on May 23rd and 24th.
One of the aims of the Empire Day movement is that, as far as possible housewives in the Mother Country and the various overseas possessions shall make an effort, at least on this one day of the year, to provide Empire meals.
In order to aid Hongkong households to draw up Empire menus, the following list will indicate some of the Empire products which are at present available in the Colony:

Sir Cooper Rawson There are several firms in Eng. land who ship South Africa red and white wines of the claret, burgundy and hock type which arc very much superlor, to my mind, to any foreign wines of the same price. I should like to men- tion as an example the cuse of Schoongezicht hoek and Hermi- tage claret.
Dr. R. . Innes points out that there are essentially five varieties of African wines dry red and white, sweet red and white, and a sparkling wine. These correspond roughly to claret and hock, port and sherry, and to a Saumur sparkling wine.
