Food

Cheery Chompers Choose Cheddar

Last time I saw the figures, cheese consumption by New Zealanders was six pounds per head annually. Since then, television cookery and epicurean hints in women's magazines may have caused the figure to rise. The eighty million people of Japan rely heavily on fish for protein—even having the cheek to visit South Pacific waters to net the fish kiwis have sensibly ignored for years. But Italians and French who cannot hope for abundant cheap meal as a staple, have learned how cheese can supplement their diet. In Outer Pomerania, lavish colour advertisements are published, promoting sales of our Cheddar cheese to the British working man. But home consumption should also be encouraged.

As beer and cheese go well together. I cannot understand why hotels selling pies are not a target for promotion by local manufacturers. Perhaps readers could help here—but let them make it plain that they have no vested interest other than appetite. Maybe they could find out if anything stands in the way of cheese with bread rolls being sold in taverns. Rebut any moans about cutting cheese on he counter by referring to those foil-wrapped segments of processed cheese.

Point put that since ten o'clock closing came in—pickles, frankfurters, and numerous savories have retailed in bars—so why this blackout on a (national) dairy product that has graced bars for centuries in Europe? And as for England, well, just think what Dr Johnson would say of us if we could flashback to the Fleet Street, "Cheshire Cheese" hangout of his day?

Everyone knows cheese makes an excellent snack with beer, and a little imagination could easily promote wide local markets for it. And if you really feel like getting on a cheese-crate soap box; you could tell the stale railways your opinions too—while you arc about it. Even one person living in a room should never be without one or two pounds of cheese. What an oversight, in a cheese-producing country like this, to ignore its uses! Surely it should be just as natural to have cheese in the house as butter. Children Should Be Fobbed With Cheese Instead Of Biscuits And Sweets. A glass of beer or wine. Bring out some cheese. Reach for the cheese grater with your gravies, soups, and salads.

Cheese again with scrambled eggs, or mashed potatoes, and fish cries out for a cheese sauce. If you know a victim of the slimming racket who takes sauna baths or uses patent sweat corsets; but compulsively starves and stuffs, starves and stuffs, try to get some sanity into her diet with cheese. For women slimming, the old advice of cutting down on bread and sweet things, still stands. But recent research no longer agrees with cutting-out fatty foods, Fat, digesting slowly, staves-off hunger. Cheese, comprised of fat and protein, is filling; whereas a cream but isn't. Balanced into a sane diet (which is rare with young women these days), cheese can militate against overweight, Nervy, anaemic, and carbohydrate-bloated females, would be less common, if cheese was utilised intelligently.

The man who named himself as a candidate for 12 seats in the General Election on November 29 Mr. P. J. Wedderspoon of Dunedin, has cut his chances by 11.

He will now stand for the Sydenham seat only, where his chief opponent will be the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Kirk.

Asked why he had decided to restrict his activities Mr. Wedderspoon said: "On medical advice."

As the country's only multiple candidate for the General Election, this Wellington-born estate manager and part-time student is standing for three seats: Sydenham (Christchurch), Grey Lynn (Auckland) and Oamaru.

Mr Wedderspoon speaks from experience. Since joining the Labour Party at the age of 16, he has accumulated a reputation for sincerity and a substantial political background.
