...diarrhea, bloating and bad breath. But leavened with cereal-based dog food, it might even surpass in nutrients the diets of snack-happy American teenagers. One of the Oklahoma students' tastier recipes, for instance, calls for two cups of Gaines Gravy Train, heated with water, salt, pepper and garlic. That provides much more protein and vitamin A and B1 than does a lunch of a three-ounce hamburger with French fries and a cola - at about one-tenth of the cost. Said Arnall: "The dog is eating better than we are." Well, cheaper, anyhow...
...Gazpacho, a cold, Spanish tomato soup, for $.80 a bowl with side bowls of diced cucumbers and peppers is unfailingly cool, garlicy and thick. Of the hors d'oeuvres, the angulas ($2.00), baby eels broiled in olive oil and garlic, are my favorite. You should hold your yellow linen napkin over the little casserole when it first is put before you, as the eels have just escaped the broiler and they sometimes explode with the heat.

The entrees were preceded by a salad (a trick they couldn't have picked up on the continent) made of rubbery, dog-eared lettuce, a slab of cucumber, and an unripe slice of tomato. The simple vinegar and oil dressing was unpleasantly sweetened with pickle relish...
...price of all these sauces, you also get spaghetti, sourdough bread with plain or garlic butter, salad, coffee, and spumoni ice cream. The salad swims in the dressing of your choice; the House dressing is bland and oily. The butter is whipped and the garlic effective. The spaghetti was delicate, but disappointly overcooked. The coffee was cold, but the spumoni was authentic--the real Italian kind complete with fruit and nuts...
