Swiss pineapple cheese cream scarcely sounds like a dish designed to go with German Schinken und Kartoffel. But, forewarned by trade journals, wise West German grocers are busily stocking up on the ingredients. After Clemens Wilmenrod, Der Fernsehkoch (The Television Cook), tells the Hausfrauen how to make it, Swiss cream is sure to be a favorite dessert-and Clemens plans to pass the word soon. The balding, Menjou-mustached, ample-jowled Fernsehkoch last week was well into his seventh year on the air, with the oldest and most popular show on West German...
...often accuse him of what they consider heinous culinary sins: he has been known to dip breaded cutlets in gravy (making a soggy crust), mix fresh cream with Madeira (which makes the cream run), and boil beef after searing it in a pan (making the meat tough). But Der Fernsehkoch has a ready answer: "As an actor, I know what goes over...
Rarely has New York, home of showplace restaurants (if not of showplace food), seen anything quite like The Four Seasons. Such architects as Mies van der Rohe. Eero Saarinen and Philip Johnson helped to arrange its five lavish dining rooms (two public, three private). Fifteen trees of different and exotic species ranging up to 18 feet tall wave in the breeze, and $50,000 worth of foliage, from cheese plants to Ficus trees, crowd the Mies chairs and Johnson tables. The walls are covered with an original Jackson Pollock spatter painting called Blue Poles, three surrealistic tapestries by Joan...
...making issues. Politically, the Saar was reunited with West Germany in 1957. and in the further flowering of European friendship it was inevitable that economic integration, scheduled for 1960, should be advanced to an earlier date. For weeks the talk in the Saar's beerhalls has been of Der Tag X-the day the customs barriers between the Saar and Germany would be pulled down and moved west to the Saar's French frontier. In anticipation of the day when the mark replaced the franc, Volkswagen dealers alone booked 7,000 advance orders. Also heavy were orders...
...Der Tag X neared, there was a sudden realization by the Saarlanders that they would lose many of the social benefits they had enjoyed under the French welfare state. Though it could be argued that lower German prices would help compensate them, some wage earners muttered that their much-prized German nationality may cost them as much as 20% of their pay after taxes. Such complaints led some West German newspapers, in commenting on the "Little Reunification" with the Saar, to ask soberly whether 17 million East Germans might one day be similarly reluctant to give up Communist welfare privileges...
