POPULAR FOOD COMBINATIONS

Since it is customary to plan the menu, using the meat as a basis, and since custom and good usage make certain combinations popular, a list of such combinations is given below with the idea that others may be added as desired.

SUGGESTIVE AND POPULAR FOOD COMBINATIONS

WAYS OF USING LEFT-OVER FOODS

GARNISHES

Clever use of garnishes will do a great deal to make servings attractive, to develop surprise and stimulate appetite.

A list of garnishes appropriate to different kinds of food appears below. Of course there are many others, and the number of different ways in which ordinary garnishes can be used effectively is surprisingly large. The alert manager will observe what others in his field are doing, and will discover many ingenious ideas by reading food journals and women's magazines.

The garnishes used for soups are practically the same whether for cream or clear soups.

Wafers, cheese and plain Croutons Olives Radishes Celery hearts Whipped cream (on cream soups)

Some meat garnishes can be used at all times; others are especially adapted to certain kinds of meat.

In general Parsley Watercress, in season Mixed pickles

For steaks Lemons cut in fancy shapes Sautéd mushrooms Potato roses Stuffed tomatoes Stuffed peppers Grilled and buttered Brussels sprouts

For fish Lemons, in slices and cut in fancy shapes Cucumber baskets, filled with dressing Parsley Watercress Clam shells, stuffed with clams and mushrooms Mushrooms, sautéd Potatoes, cut in fancy shapes, such as shoe strings or lattice, and fried in deep fat

There are certain garnishes which it is customary to use with salads, especially with chicken salad.

For chicken salad Hard-cooked eggs, sliced or cut in eighths Lemons, sliced Pickles Paprika Parsley Capers Olives Head lettuce cups

For fish salad Pickles Olives Lemons, cut in fancy shapes Cucumber baskets holding extra salad dressing Paprika Parsley

For fruit salad Tiny cheese balls Cheese balls rolled in chopped nuts Tiny sandwiches Olives green ripe stuffed Cheese straws in fancy shapes

Very often where sandwiches are ordered they will serve as the main dish of the luncheon meal. They should be made as appetizing as possible by the use of suitable garnishes.

Pickles Olives Cheese balls Parsley Watercress Attractive paper or plain linen doilies Nut meats

Desserts by their very nature, require some garnish to make them the perfect and satisfying last course which they should be. Candied fruit, marshmallows, slices of fresh orange or strawberries in season, whipped cream and bright candies add the needed bit of color. Here the use of paper doilies, glasses and attractively shaped china dishes is a great factor in appearance.
