Z)ke 11 'Ottt} I ~~ C linic. --' WED. APRIL?, 1969 PLAfNDEALER - PG. 3 DRIVING FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY Jake's case shows that a superb chef can have his efforts largely neutralized by a sourpuss waitress! For our emotional attitude is part of the mosaic that we call the "flavor" of food. The very same foodstuff, prepared by the same chef, can lose its zest if, a smiling waitress is replaced by a negative, grouchy girl. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE J-567: Jake D., ap*>d 34, is a slaesmaru "Dr. Crane," he ^ogan, "I always have lunch at a certain restaurant. . . •, „ "And the food is delicious. But the owner recently sold out to a new operator. "But the same chef is still on the job. "Yet the food no longer tastes as good as before. When I asked the cook about it, he insisted it must be all my imagination. "For he says he buys the same meats and vegetables from the very same suppliers as before. "Am I wacky, Dr. Crane, when I insist the food doesn't taste the way it did before?" FOOD PSYCHOLOGY No; Jake is correct, for a very vital element is lacking from the food now being served in the same restaurant. For the former waitress is missing! A poker-faced girl has taken her place. But the earlier waitress was a cheerful, smiling girl , who cordially greeted every customer with a friendly smile and a pleasant word. ' She knew hundreds of her customers by name, so she would offer Jake a cheery: "Good morning, Jake. Where have you been all week?" As a result, Jake and her other customers would feel almost as happy as when they gathered around the family table in their childhood, with fond mama beaming her affection for them. Actually, the so-called taste of food is a mosaic of many other elements besides the mere 4 basic tastebud factors: / FAMIIY POT IUCK One half cup serving of cottage cheese supplies as much nigh quality Protein as one serving of meat. It makes delicious dishes, whole meal salads and desserts. Entertaining? Fruit punch is in order. Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup pineapple j u i c e , 1 can (6 o z . ) f r o z e n orange juice, ailuted, 2 tables p o o n s m a r a s c h i n o c h e r r y juice and 3 cups ginger ale. Top with scoops of lemon sherbet Tangy and savory sardines from the cold, mineral rich Norwegian fjords, blend with a variety of ingredients to create those tasty and appetizing snacks. Economical and simple to prepare, homemakers will also find these tidbits ideal when entertaining -- Also for hardy school appetites. For a gourmet dressing, combine 2 tbsps. mayonnaise, 2 tbsps. chili sauce or catsup, 1 / 4 t s p . dry o r . p r e p a r e d mustard, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. MACARONI AND VEGETABLE SALAD 3 cups cooked elbow macaroni 1 cup cooked green peas 1/2 cup cooked carrot slices 1 cup chopped celery 1 tbsp. chopped onion 1 cup chopped cooked ham 1 tbsp. A.1. Steak Sauce 1 cup mayonnaise 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. paprika Mix all ingredients and put on platter with crisp lettuce. Makes 6 servings. YOUR MONEY IS WORKING sweet, sour, salt and bitter. For example, our tastebuds can register nothing but "Salty" to steak or fried chicken, ham or lamb chops. For meats don't stimulate the sweet, sour' or bitter tastebuds! Yet you readers know very well that chicken seems to taste much different from steak or ham, doesn't it? Why? Well, much of what we call "taste" is really odor or aroma, so our nose is more vital than our tongue in denoting the "flavor" of various foods. But the tactile sense also enters in, for the touch cells in the tongue enable us to tell the difference between^Whole milk vs. half-and-half, or crackers Vs. bread., Temperature is also a factor, for lukewarm ice cream no longer "tastes" the same as when it is frozen solidly. Pain even enters into flavor, too, for many people say their food doesn't taste right unless it is covered with mustard or pepper or hot sauce. But our emotions likewise transfer to the food, too, so a glum, sourpuss waitress can make the very same food taste much less delicious than it would if served by a friendly, ; smiling girl. Superb chefs and choice locations can still let a restaurant go bankrupt if the waiters and waitresses don't maintain that proper "feeling tone" fas advertisers describe it) which is vital for the customers to think the food is extra delicious.
