Mi' ft 14 Prince Rupert Daflrj I2cto5 Thursday, June 26, 1947 The Experts Say - - By KAY REX Canadian Press Start Writer tMUSHROOMS FOR LUXURY BlNNER For the "luxury" dinner, mushrooms aie as appropriate as gleaming silver on white linen. For years connoisseurs have savoied the delicately distinctive flavor of the many types of mushrooms, but to the averagv person, just the nut-brown taste alone is enough to tickle the appetite. Mushrooms may be cooked in a variety of ways to serve as the main course of a meal. Small portions, chopped are ideal as flavoring In creamed or e.illop-ed dishes, or graviei. In preparation, home warn that mushrooms should not be waehed unle- very dirty. Rather they should be brushed gently.. If washed they should be -gently wteed dry. Young fresh muslfrooms do not require peeling, but when old the skin should be pulled eff with fingers or n knife. The older ones are better if the caps are removed and the stems chopped or sliced. A tprig cf parsley adds to the flavor of most mushrooms, but the reason of oldui days for adding parsley no longer exists at one time It was used to detect the presence of some wild tytfe1; of poisonous mushrooms,1 turning black If those were present. ' Mushrooms-Under - Glass long has been the epicure's delight ' but beyond the possibilities of the average housewife. However, , the consumer section has come up with this modified recipe. which is equally 'good .and easy to prepare. Ingredients: one pound mush- j rooms, six shuts oreaa, tnree tablespoons bacon-ifat, one-third teaspoon salt, one teaspoon vinegar, one tablMpoon chopped parsley, one-quarter teaspoon of paprika, one tablespoon melted fat, one-half cup cream or top milk. Remove stems from mushrooms and chop finely. Peel caps If necessary. Cut bread in rounds with a Jjlscuit-culter. Cream bacon fat with salt, vinegar, parsley and paprika, and spread on both sides of Iwad rounds. Place bread in a shallow glass baking dish. Pile chopped mushrooms with melted lat, and pour cream all over. Cover closely and bake 25 minutes In a moderate oven. Serves six.

Seasonable Ideas for Housekeepers DELICATE SUMMER T ID-BIT YOUNG SPRING CHICKENS Young- Spring Chickens Each season of th? year brlngs Its own particular flood, which gives new est to meals and spring chickens. These broilers and fryers, as they are sojnetlmej; called, are generally cooked by one of two methods . . . either broiling or frying. The method used will depend on the amount of fat available. TO BROIL CHICKEN For broiling select a young chicken weighing not over2'2lbK Paitlcular attention should be paid to the plumpness of the breast when selertmx the bi d The- smaller-sizd broHer.s ute often split down tre ba::k and fllorr? the fcreart niiite to to m two halves. For broiling, wipe the bird as dry as possible, coat w.'. melted fat, sprinkle wM,h aK and pepper If desired, dust 11-rht ly with flour. Arrange the pre r ired chkrken, ski.i side down on the irack of the broiler or In a shallaw jian jinti place under the prtheated brolllni'. unit so that the top of the chicken comes about 4-f! inches beiow the heat. Keep the heatmoderate and leave the dor slightly ajar. Turn the chicken several tim5 lor t-ven brownlrw and baste frequently with the pan dripping. or melted fat. A 2 -lb. broiler will require from 30-45 minute to br thoroughly cooked to the bone. Serve broiled chicken at one with pan clippings poured over It, garnished with toast jiolnt? und a sprit- of parsley or cres. TO FRY CHICKEN-- Heavier broilers, ranglmi from 2Vi-3V4e lbs. In weight are usually fried. For frying, cnt up chicken according to size Into halves or quarters. Cook the piece either coated or uncocted. If the chicken h uncoated, dry it thoroughly before frying to avoid ipatterlng. Heat enough fat In a heavy frying pan to give a depth "f Va-3i Inch. Any good cooking fat 1 may be used lor this purpose. Avoid pricking the chicken pieces by handling with torrgr or Uwo spoons. Put the meaty pieces on to cook first In the hot fa' on tlie'hottcst p-trt of the pan i If mere than one chicken Isso jk-ed use two frying pans. Put the j meaty pieces in one' pan and i the less meaty portions in the cither.
