THIRTY-TWO COURSE MEALS
A special consignment of rare spices arrived in London recently from the East. They were for an Indian restaurant in the West End, which supplies meals daily to the Maharaja of Bikanir, the "King of the Desert" and senior honorary aide-de-camp to the King, who is in London for the Jubilee celebrations.
Thirty-two courses were cooked and taken by messengers to the hotplate of the West End hotel where the "King of the Desert" is staying. They are served up on small, dainty saucers. One morsel of each dish the maharaja lays aside in honour of his gods. Hot wafers made from crushed lentils and fried in butter, and baby chicken stewed with Oriental vegetables figure in the menu.
