German, Irish and Southern; Fried Meats Are Woman's Home Companion Editor Here Y Lvov

To Discover State's Food Habits # By JEAN TABBERT : WHAT ARE HOOSIERLAND'S typical dishes” And why?

J These are questions Mrs, Nell B, Nichols, field editor of the _ Woman's Home Companion, is in Indianapolis to discover. She's .

been touring the nation for two years now, collecting source material on the country's eating habits, Here she's found the three principal influences are German,

"Irish and southern. The first has stamped its mark on the German potato salad, the soup

dishes local persons favor, Fish suppers, the king organizations here like to sponsor, seem to indicate the Irish strain. But southern cooking apparently has taken hold far more than either of the other two, Hoosiers who delight in corn meal mush, not only fried but perved with milk the way It's done in rural communities, are patterning their custom after Dixieland neighbors.

Milk Gravy

Another southern custom Is milk gravy Werved even for breakfast. Hoosiers do the same, according to Mrs, Nichols. Other southern mannerisms Indianans observe so far as their food habits are concerned include their love for salt-rising bread, sop ~~ ham drippings served with hominy--and persimmon pudding. Chicken fried without the batter is so unusual it's distinetively Hoosier, says Mrs. Nichols. And she believes the same holds true for hickory nut cake, black walnut icing and all kinds of apple ple. Other parts of the country. don't put green

beans in their succotash either,

Mrs, Nichols has observed. She's found cooks here make two crusts for their cobblers, combine vegetables with meat. Homemakers mn Hooslerland _ generally fry rather than broil their meaty, Mrs. Nichols has found.

Like Sweetness Hoostérs like sweetness with everything, alter recipes so their tastes can be indulged, Raspberry salad ice cream Is almost unique here, one department store tearoom manager told her. Thé most popular ¢ake on menus here is angel food, she's discovered, And it's the boiled Icing, the frosting with the gooey texture, that hits the , Popularity high. “Punkin” pile and applesauce cake are two more desserts Hoosiers admire, She's observed our highly salted butter, and the absence of lamb on tables here. What are our salad favorites? Cole slaw; tomatoes, cucumbers and wilted lettuce. ' Mrs. Nichols “wouldn't be surprised” if the facts she's rounding up “will wind up in a k." It ought to be an inter.
