Fried Corn Meal Mush

2 cups water 1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup corn meal maple syrup

Cook mush at home from forty to sixty minutes. Turn into a greased loaf pan to harden. It may be taken to the picnic in the pan, turned out on a bread board and sliced. Brown in fat in a frying pan. Serve with maple syrup.

Do not take extra fat along. Partially fry the bacon in the frying pan. Use this to brown the mush in. Put bacon back into frying pan for a few seconds to finish crisping after all the mush has been prepared.

Raspberries And Cream

If possible purchase waxed cups that are used for salads. These are fine for serving the raspberries in. Do not forget to take sugar for the berries.

Iced Coffee

It is advisable to take along chopped ice, well wrapped in newspaper or in the vacuum jug. If cubes are obtainable, leave in the trays and wrap paper around them. Make very strong coffee. Thoroughly chill and mix at the picnic with the ice. Putting the coffee and the ice into the vacuum will dilute the coffee too much, and it is not tasty if weak. Do not forget the cream and sugar.
