It is possible to see the photographs

WINE 

As one of the few quality wine pro 
ducers ol the United States producing 
district wines, 1 want to compliment you 
оп the interesting article, Wine is Like 
а Woman by Thomas Mario. The article 
and the full color photograph illustrat- 
ing it were interesting and attractive. 

At the same time, however. 1 leel that 
a bit of constructive criticism. or at least 
à comment, is in order. The article deals 
almost entirely with: imported, wines 
ine business enjoys Los 
than 5%, ol the total volume sold here 
in the United States and I think that any 
article on wines should include a very 
generous reference to the quality wines 
of this country.

PLAYBOY AT TEE BOWL 


BY THOMAS MARIO playhoy's food & drink editor 


JEVER ASK А WOMAN to come мр and

don’t let her go near it. There 

are some things а woman can tow around 

fairy well, but a salad isn’t one of them.

ine bunny food as Frozen To

e о 

originating in the minds of congenital 

spinsters, Home Economics teachers and 
amateur food demonstrators A woman. 
in fact, who may be an otherwise skillful 
cook and an unaffected creature invari- 
ably becomes coquettish when she makes 

a salad. When your back is turned. 

she'll come up with Prunes and С 

Cheese, or Pea and Walnut Salad or an 

elaborate bowl of mixed greens tasting 

exactly like 2 bale of wet hay. You may 
intimate to the young lady that you like 

radishes, Will she let you bite into а 

plain hard radish? Will she put simple 

trip radish slices in the salad? Oh, по. 

You'll have to wait until she surprises 

you with her "radish roses” For centu 

Ties now the petals of these damned 

radish roses have been getting into men's 

mustaches, falling into their vests and 

Killing the enjoyment of an ancient, 

honest garden vegetable. 

И you absent mindedly 
praise her radish roses, yo 
down for the long count. She? 
а moment or two, then scurry Into the 

and while you sit helplessly 
ng time at the table, she'll present 
you with a succession of cheese roses. 
tomato roses, orange roses, grapefruit 
roses and apple roses—all designed to 
make llimflam out of good natural food. 

Profesional cooks are sometimes guilty 
of the same offense in their elaborate 
chaud froid dishes and aspic salads, 
made solely for showof purposes om 
bullet tables. But in the privacy of their 
‘own homes, they wouldnt think of cat 
ing such nonsense 

When a man’s tired and hungry at the 
end of a broiling summer day, he yearns 
for a nice cold lobster salad as fresh and. 
een as the cold Maine water itself. He 
‘wants the very first taste of tangy mayon- 
naise to send him into a shiver of lasiv 


ious delight. When a bow! of romaine 
is brought to his table, he wants the dark 
Jens to lien with real olive oil and 
wine vinegar. like droplets clinging to 
the cold limbs of a swimmer. He vano 
the beefstcak tomatoes to be s0 sweet 
that they taste as though someone had 
sprinkled them with sugar. He wants 
the French dresing to bite and yield at 
the same time. 

Actually a good salad maker must 
have many of the traits and skills that 
we sometimes think of as feminine 
meticulousnes, patience, cleanliniss and 
а very alert sense of touch and taste. 
But, after all, these are not exclusively 
feminine virtues, and for some reason 
it takes а man to master the really fine 
art ol the salad bowl. One of tbe most 
noted salad makers of all time was Henri 
Атас, a French nobleman who Вей 
the revolution and went to live in 
London. Unlike modern émigris who 
become doormen and dishwashers, the 
Frenchman took up the art of salad 
‘making. He became known as the Salad 
King, and fabulous sums were paid to 


him to prepare the " 
nent dinners held in Grosvenor 


ly unknown 
two famous Frenchmen, Brillat Sati, 
the noted food philosopher, and Collete, 
Y raian chet wer лема New 
Yorkers the subtleties of French 

and Sauce Vinaigrette. 

"The kind of bowl that you use will 
affect the salad that finally comes forth. 
Several decades ago there was a rage 
Tor wooden salad bowls that’s only now 
subsiding, The wooden bowls were 
peasantish, informal and bohemian. You 
Were told that if you used the bowl often 
. the garlic, and other 
seasonings would become impregnated 
into the wood. In time these favor. 
‘would be transferred to any salad mixed. 
in the bowl. You were told not to wash 
the bowl but merely wipe it clean after 
each we. 

Wood is porous and therefore absorb 
ent. When you rub it with garlic often 
enough, it may eventually acquire a 
builtup garlic odor. But it also absorbs 
the oil of the salad dressing. Oil in time 
turns rancid. No in will re- 
move the unclean, oft flavor of many of 
these wooden bawk. At the present time 


louem buy а number ol wooden salad 
owls made of extremely handsome hard 
ood, le sinrbent than the old fai 
ianed wooden chopping bowl, 

"The pare the bowl plays. however, 
negative, It should give na flavor what 
ever to the salad. If vou want to give a 
gre sem to your lad, s very easily 

ine by merely rubbing the bowl with 
а cut clove of garlic, or using a garlic 
EES ot placing i the salad à pieve of 

Tench bread previously rubbed with 
garlic Then there are a number of 
Salads in which you don't want a garlic 
flavor to predominate. For instance, if 
you're making a crabmeat salad, garlic 
has no place whatever in the scheme of 

ngs. Finally, the bacteria that collect 
the unwashed wooden bowl make for 
unsanitary foo jin 

Oil, the bes ty x 

i of glas, 


of salad bowl 


is one mad ina or pottery. 
Bright crystal glass is iy nice lor 
showing the sorcery of the saladman. 


The old Spanish saying that to be a 
good salad maker you must be a miser 
with vinegar, a spendthrift with oil and 
а madman in mixing is cute— but not 
entirely true. The advice about oil and 
Vinegar is sound as far ay it goes. You. 
should use four parts of oil to each part 
of vinegar in making a salad. But you 
must take especial care Фаг the total 
amount of dressing should only be 
enough to coat the greens with a thi 
fim ol drewing. You shouldn't be such 
а spendibrile that the salad is drowned 
in без, leaving а lay pool of liquid 
оп the bottom of the saad bond. When 
you mix the salad. you should do it 
thoroughly but wich a light hand all the 
time, A madman will beat the tender 
leaves until they droop with dey 
t takes а sage—not à madman—to mix 
a salad. 

Much of the skill in conjuring up a 
slick salad is merely choosing the right 
raw material. И you buy the plump 
beefsteak tomatoes adorning the sum- 
mer vegetable stalls, your salad wil 
automatically be better than one made 
‘with dull winter hot house tomatoes

A good saladmaker must be а tyrant

A88 CHICAGO п, NINOS 


WHEN IS IT TIME TO BUY A NEW SUIT? 


This fall you'll see PLAYRoY fashion promotion material-the attractive poster 
assembly you see above-in the windows and on the display cases of hundreds 
of top retail stores everywhere. 

Because of the season, the display will naturally be aimed at the man-about- 
campus—but it should be а good reminder to the man-about-10wn, too, to attend 
to his apparel requirements. 

We trust that when you see the display you'll tke time to take stock and 
stock up for your fall Lashion needs. 


TO THE RETAILER- Over 120 stores saw the PLAYBOY fall window display at the Nancr Convent 
up their stores. They liked its non-commercial good taste, а fitting setting for any quality lines. They liked 
their needs by selling the "DRESS RIGHT” idca- not simply promoting the magazine or particular merchandi: 


M you would like to tie-in your store with this fall promotion, you will receive the PLAYBOY “MAN AROU = posters (6), and re. 

ceive seven copies of the magazine ard a quantity of reprints of the cover for display purposes. The cost of the entire package is $9.00 (well 

bil you in the fall). Display will be shipped in July 

"The September issue of PLAYBOY will carry another reproduction of the display, and the name and location of your store. Write:
