An unusual invitation

“ve come to expect almost anything in my mail,
but an invitation to help christen an aeroplane?

But there it was — Cathay-
Pacific Airlines was asking
me to the unveiling of their
Stunning new 747-300, next
stop Hong Kong.

How do you christen an
aeroplane? Bashing it on the
nose with a bottle of cham-
pagne would surely ruin that
proud frontal curvature.
Cathay’s men solved the pro-
blem nicely. .

You contrive a large hoist
with a fence around it, you

"fill it with dignitaries, and

you lift them up level with the
noble proboscis. Then ‘you
pass the big silver pitcher Tull
of bubbly wine and let it
cascade gently over the proud
nose as you intone its call let-
ters. It now answers to ‘‘VS-
HHI’.You also invite the
Vancouver Firemen’s Band,
whose repertoire goes far
beyond your average oom-
pah-pah, and you also make
sure there is the sound of
bagpipes.

When you go to Hong
Kong you won't go hungry.

The Canadian Honey pro-
ducers’ little book of recipes
is studded with bits of honey
lore, about how at one time it
was accepted in payment of
taxes (we wish!), offered in
sacrifices to the gods, and
strictly reserved for the
pleasure of the powerful and
mighty.

It’s known as an instant
source of energy because its
sugars are the simple kind,
fruit sugar and grape sugar,
which the body can absorb
without having to break them
down, first. It can come from
any flower; you could con-
ceive of Raspberry Honey,
Cranberry Honey, even Ap-
ple Honey, were the acreages
devoted to those sources

anything like the vast tracts
of clover and alfalfa and
buckwheat that mostly fur-
nish the needed nectars.

Bacteria will not live in
honey, but it should nonethe-
less be stored with a tight lid,
else it may pick up both
moisture and the flavours
and odours of other foods.
Keeping it in the refrigerator
speeds up its granulation, yet
you can freeze it and find lit-
tle change in either flavor or
texture,

if you are baking with it,
reduce required temperatures
a bit, because it scorches easi-
ly. And if and when you do
add it to cake or bread batter,
you'll get better volume and
texture if you add it in a fine
Stream, beating vigorously
the while. That propensity to
absorption of moisture is an
added benefit in baking, as
the product stays moister
longer when you use honey,
not sugar.

If you preserve fruit with
honey, you need use no
ascorbic acid, as honey itself
prevents darkening. But you
are wise to consult recipes
especially designed, as quan-
tities and temperatures are

. slightly different. _
