AN EMPIRE PRODUCT

Royal Duff Fqr King Georges y Christmas Dinner

The household of George and, 71 as any other household when it comes to IN fact, Christmas, Royal or otherwise seems to hinge round a plum pudding. December twenty-five is a. great -day with a duff stuck m the centre of it. •

"N.Z. Truth" has had the honor to receive, . direct from His Majesty's culinary department, the recipe for the Royal Duff. .. ■_...., ' It is pleasing- to note that New Zealand is able to supply, its. quota. of. the Ingredients, and the chef m chief to H.M. the King considers New Zealand beef suet the best m the world (with apologies to our contemporaries. Possibly the Meat .Board, and Douglas Lysnar may have had a hand m the pudding, or rather A m the selection . of the suet

However, it is to be hoped that His Majesty will get the genuine article and riot al low himself to b c palmed off with suet cut from the brisket o(f an old cow. .'.''..;

As' to the other ingredients New Zealand can supply at. least three. Apples, minced; munched, moulded and, mithei-y'— to say nothing .0f ... then, toffee- variety— are here m abundance. Bread, both' crusts and .crumbs may, be .had m. any quantity, "there's nothing wigSig with our flour, i&cher. : '' '.'■:.[' " '■"

iary Rex is apparently just the same the, Xmas pudding. /' ,* *

As to eggs, we have some; good eggs m this country— and ' bad ' .one's, too. But His, Majesty's, chef must be. a man of fearless' character .to "introduce a Free State egg into the Royal Duff. Eggs are eggs, but a Free ,Staie' egg is an unknown 'quantity. ' =• ■. .

Old England is. supplying the beer which goes into the duff. As the Mother of our Empire, it is only fitting that this high honor should be accorded her. , . - . .

Beer- and England are practically one and the ' same, with the exception that one .is very liquid Vhile, t the other .is ■ still very solid. For the first time m history the Royal Duft! is to be , a whbliy British product, and his, Majesty is. to.be congratulated. . for having pointed . out :the f a/c.t that, oar Empire is- capable of producing, the who T'e irigrediejits ; of ■:: ;- I; a Ch r i s -'t mias, -puddiner. ■■■■' < •
