NEW DISH INSPIRED BY LOCH NESS MONSTER.

INAUGURAL APPEARANCE RECENTLY. According to Mr J. Gardiner, who returned recently to Perth, Western Australia, from a visit to England, the Loch Ness monster has inspired a new' dish, which, while it may not. attain the longevity of the Peehe Melba, is promising well. It is called “Le Filete Sole Loch Ness.” It was evident that hours of planning had gone toward perfecting ttys delight for gourmets, said Mr Gardiner. A fearsome-looking beast appears oil the dish. Its body is half a roast potato in its jacket, and along the top is the fish in a series of curves and bumps. Its head is a walnut, with two beady eyes, lobster’s whiskers, and lobster’s claws, two aside, stuck out in formidable fashion.

Its red tail also once belonged to a lobster, and it swims in green sauce “Voila, monsieum,’ said the head waiter proudly, ‘it swims in its loch.’ Great ceremony attended the inaugural appearance of the dish. Head waiters, managers, chefs, and page boys appeared, and the monster was borne ir -with a flourish of napkins, but do not ask what are the ingredients of the sauce. Restaurateurs guard a secret like that with their lives.
