SLOVENIAN

Menus given by a Slovenian woman show the diet of a family of moderate income whose food habits have not been modified in America. Certain European customs are observed; no desserts are served, and no baking powder is used. Sweet cookies, raised with yeast, and fresh fruit, are given to children who are allowed candy, so that they may not feel deprived of sweets when they see other children eating candy at school. The older children have learned to prepare new ”American”

dishes at school, but these are not used at home, as the whole family prefer the Slovenian diet.

BREAKFAST

Coffee, bread and b.u.t.ter.
