“JAMES MONTGOMERY SUDS”

This is a dessert. When a Swedish cook is put on her mettle to suggest

a dessert—something different—she stands a while in uffish thought,

then breaks out into a smile of satisfaction and says “Snow Pudding”!

It’s Swede law. The Swedes _must_ suggest Snow Pudding when asked for

an original thought in the dessert line.

So this dessert of mine was a protest.

There is one very difficult ingredient—wine jelly! The jelly is easy

enough, but where in Jell do you get the wine?

If you don’t have wine jelly—it’s all off—no use beginning. If you

can get the wine then you put some cut-up oranges in wine jelly with

an inch layer of beaten whites of eggs on top and lightly brown this.

A loose custard is poured on each helping. It sounds rather punk and

ladieshomejournalish but is a perfectly good dessert.
