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 butter.
(Breakfast is always the same.)
10 A.M.
An egg, a sandwich, or a cup of milk for parents.
