HELEN BURKE TALKING FOOD

America

three years

ago I found a salt which accentuated the flavour of food in a remarkable way.

The Chinese and Japanese have been using this salt for centuries, but it is comparatively new in the Western world. This sult is monosodium glutamate. The chicken noodle soups, popular in Amerka, contain this magic salt

Now you can buy this mono- sodium glutamate in aluminium drums of 12oz, for 29. G. You need so little that this quantity should last quite a long time. Add a pinch to a vegetable soup which is weak in flavour and see at once how the flavour is in- tensified. Add a pinch to shep- herd's pies or croquettes, which need more meat in them, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the "difference."

KEEPING COOL

An opening in the side of this large flask gives access to an ico container, like a glout glass bub- ble, in the centre of the vessel. If you have a refrigerator, you can use ice cubes from it.
