Shrimp de Jonghe
By TOM HOGE
AP Newsfeatures Writer j
Despite droughts,, soaring
prices and shortages, Ameri-
cans still set the best table in
the world and many of the good
things come from our South-
land.
In early times, the Mis-
sissippi Delta which stretches
from Vicksburg, northward to
Memphis, Tenn., abounded in
seafood of every variety and
the forests were dense with
game, including bear and bi-
son.
The inroads of civilization
have cut down the wildlife, but
there is still an abundance of
'
which satalogues the rich,I
spicy foods served in the kitch-
ens of the Delta region. It also
gives tempting samples of the
Creole and Cajun cookery for
which New Orleans is famous.
Usually church - sponsored
cookbooks are strictly commu-
nity affairs, but this one in-
cludes favorite recipes contrib-
uted by such noted persons as
food writer Craig Claiborne and
Louisiana Sen. Allen Ellender,:
plus actor Vincent Price and
author Willie Morris.
jFrom the Indian cuisineI
come such delicacies as turtle
soup with rum, wild duck with
bananas and baked quail.
The French settlers had a
strong influence onthe Delta;
cuisine and the book gives a
dazzling variety of French dish-
es from the classic coq au vin{
to a veal casserole laced with
white Bordeaux wine.
There is a recipe for almond'

be Scottish in origin but the
piece I sampled tasted de-+

Nowadays chicken dipped in
batter (a mixture of flour, liq-
uid and other ingredients that
is thin enough to pour) and
cooked in deep fat goes under
the broad name of Fried Chick
en. But a century ago, when
this recipe appeared in a cook-,
book published in Charleston,
S.C., it was called Battered
Chicken!
Although through the years
the recipe has changed in a few
particulars, Battered Chicken
- yes, we're all for revivingf
the good old direct name - is
still one of the most delicious
wing tips and use in making
broth another time.) Wash and
dry chicken; sprinkle with /
teaspoon salt.
In a medium mixing bowl stir
together the flour, baking pow-
der and 1/4 teaspoon salt; add
egg, milk and 1 tablespoon corn:'
oil; beat until smooth.
Pour 1 quart corn oil into a3
heavy 3-quart saucepot or a 3-
quart capacity electric skillet;
heat to 350 degrees.

A basic set of cooking uten-
