...LENGTH OF THE POLDED proper menu is impressive and for $6.95 one is promised "Mama Leone's Famous Dinner," consisting on paper of fresh vegetables, fruit, cheese and bread; "Famous Antipasti Della Mamma" such as cherrystone class, shrimp cocktail leone, or a glass of tomato juice; followed by a pasts or a soup, then a main course of meat, fish, or meat and served with a vegetable, potato, and mixed green salad; concluding with a beverage and a dessert; cake, pastry, fruit, spumoni or ice cream. If one's main course tastes lean toward price ribs or steak, that will...
Kendall should have no trouble developing a Pepski generation in the Soviet Union. Russians already are copious gulpers of sweetened, carbonated fruit waters (common flavors: apple and cherry). In addition, they like a thirst quencher called kvass, which is made from dark bread and has about the same color as Pepsi-but tastes nothing like it at all. Aside from whatever profits PepsiCo makes on the deal, it may carry one other happy benefit. The droves of U.S. businessmen going to Moscow may be able to sip something during their negotiations other than the ever-present mineral water...
...special vocabulary of serious tasters, wines can be "acid" (tart, sour, with the bite of natural fruit acids), "astringent" (puckery, like a cup of strong tea), or "balanced" (with just the right combination of acid, tannin and alcohol). They can be "big" (with a detectable heaviness on the tongue, not light or watery), "clean" (absent of extraneous tastes like cork or oak), "flinty" (dry and sharp), "full-bodied" (thick, robust), and "maderise" (from Madeira; turned slightly brown with age, past the prime). They can be "petillant" (slightly sparkling or effervescent), "thin" (deficient in alcohol or body, watery), or "woody" (with...
...long and the short of Eastern Europe's controlled economies is that some goods are always in surplus while others are maddeningly scarce. Thus the East Germans are plenteously swaddled in curtain material but sadly lacking in fresh fruit. The Czechs boast a superfluity of fruit but their coffee and vodka are prohibitively expensive. The Soviets are awash in coffee and vodka but desperately desire well-fashioned clothes and shoes. Nearly everyone in Eastern Europe hungers for Hungarian salamis, and Hungary is piled high with them; yet many a Magyar bosom droops despairingly for want of an uplifting...
...Diana Ross, former lead singer of the Supremes. That is a casting coup about as appropriate as signing up Sammy Davis Jr. to play Charlie Parker. It is eerie to watch and listen to Miss Ross, the princess of plastic soul, work her way through such songs as Strange Fruit and God Bless the Child. She has the phrasing, and the Holiday intonation. What she doesn't have is the passion. Her Billie Holiday is like one of those Audio-Animatronic robots at Disneyland-a perfect facsimile of life until you get close and hear the gears whirling...
