ONLY BRITISH FOOD.
CAVIARE DISAPPEARING. Caviare is disappearing from Mayfair dinner tables. A steadily growing number of hostesses are boycotting it and other foreign delicacies in favour of British food. " I no longer serve caviare, as it is not British," young Mrs. John Drury-Lowe told me the other day, writes a Londoner. " The trade with caviare has gone," the manager of a famous catering firm assured me. *' Grape fruit or smoked salmon, both Empire products, have taken its place." Foie gras has gone into exile with caviare. Aeroplanes no longer bring it to London dinner tables. Even the serving of hors d'oeuvres, which for years was regarded as the perfect introduction to luncheon, is falling under the ban.
