A COOKING PROBLEM.
An eminent surgeon has been denouncing the "abominable cooking of the Englishwoman" and the general unattractiveness of tho middle-class table, says a London writer. Few people -will disagree with him. English bourgeois cooking is lamentable. * But is this not rather a question *of sex ? • Women are notoriously uninterested in food. They will cat "just anything." An egg and somo cakes! Tho finer shades of cuisine leave them uninterested. So can we wonder if they aro indliferent to the preparation of. food ? It is men who, appreciate good cooking and men who make the great cooks. Possibly the quickest way of teaching our young wo,men to cook decently would be to teach them to enjoy good food—not "just anything." Could not those responsible advocate this treatment ? If so, maybe, our womenfolk would go to their kitchens with a greater zest, and mere man would share the benefits.
