AVOCADO PEARS SUGGESTED FOR NOVEL SALADS When Ripe Flesh Is as Smooth, Tender as Custard. Spring Is the time to try new food—maybe avocados if you never have. In salad or fruit cup. they will add a. note of grateful novelty for the blase season. In Florida the avocado is known aa alligator pear or midshipman's butter, in California they call it calavo. By any name, it is still rich in fat and vitamins A. B. D, E and G, not to speak of calcium, iron, phosphorus and assorted minerals. When the thick-skinned flesh yields to a slight pressure, much as an apple does when we test for mellowness, avocados are ready to eat. The flesh then is as smooth and tender as baked custard. Btnffed Tomatoes A first course for luncheon or dinner might be tomatoes and avocados in combination with crab flakes. Choose small, perfectly ripe and unblemished tomatoes—one for each person to be served. Scald and dip at once into cold water and peel. Scoop out seeds and chill in a well-seasoned French dressing for an hour. Drain and fill with equal parts of finely diced avocado and crab flakes generously sprinkled with lemon juice. Lime juice can be substituted for lunch if convenient. The alligator pear combines well with any citrus fruit and forms the base of many piquant cocktails. An acid is used to bring out the rich flavor, a simple avocado cocktail is made by dicing the fruit, sprinkling with sail and a few grains of w'hite pcppeifs and pouring over a sauce made of tomato catsup and lime juice. This must, of course, be very cold* Grapefruit Salad Avocado and grapefruit pulp is delicious either as an appetizer or salad. Marinate the grapefruit carpels for an hour in French dressing. Cut the avocado into slices the same size and shape as the grapefruit carpels and sprinkle with salt and lemon or lime juice. The grapefruit and avocado are arranged rounded-side-up on a leaf of lettuce. A thread of green pepper can be laid across each salad or a thread of pimento. Three slices of avocado and two sections of grapefruit make a nice serving for a dinner salad. If the salad is to be the main course you’ll need larger portions. Anotl er delicious way to serve alligator pears is to cut them in halves, large ones in quarters, and remove the seed without peeling. The fruit must be thoroughly chilled before cutting as it discolors on standing. Eat with a spoon as you would cantaloupe. Rich in Fats As the name midshipman’s butter implies, avocados are rich, so keep this in mind when you plan your menu and above all, serve with a non-fatty meat. Avocados are particularly good with lean fish at this season of the year and are served with roast lamb with good effect, too. A dinner of a crown roast of lamb is well begun if it starts with an avocado cocktail and goes on with fresh vegetables in season and finishes up with strawberry bombe and cocoanut marcaroons. The butcher will prepare the crown roast for you and you roast it Just as you would leg of lamb. When done fill the center with hot mashed potatoes and put a chop frill on each bone before sending to the table. To carve a crown of lamb, cut through each chop separately.
