However, I could not agree with you less, the taste and (to me) enjoyment would not be the same, much as I too enjoy orange and ginger.. The added timbre and frisson such a concoction lifts it onto a higher plane altogether; it is given a lift and a delight that can not be obtained without the subtle flavoures imparted by the alcoholic ingredients. I have just e-mailed the outline recipe to a friend of mine who is a very able cook, in the hope that he might suggest a little experimentation! Yours Aye Andrew Sellon Recipe for a Salad, (by Rev Sydney Smith) To make this condiment your poet begs The pounded yellow of two hard-boile’d eggs; Two boiled potatoes, passed through the kitchen sieve, Smoothness and softness to the salad give. Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl, And, half-suspected, animate the whole. Of mordant mustard add a single spoon, Distrust the condiment that bites so soon; But deem it not, thou man of herbs, a fault To add a double quantity of salt; Four times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown, And twice with vinegar procur’d from town; And lastly o’er the flavour’d compound toss A magic soupçon of anchovy sauce. Oh, green and glorious! Oh, Herbaceous treat! T’would tempt the dying anchorite to eat; Back to the world he’d turn his fleeting soul, And plunge his fingers in the salad-bowl! Serenely full, the epicure would say, ‘Fate cannot harm me, I have dined today’.

In addition to the two and a half million volunteers, let us not forget the contribution of the employees of the Indian Railways who were militarized. They were in effect conscripted by the G of I into military units. This was a very smooth transition, which occurred almost overnight. In hindsight, for that day and age, it was a brilliant move. But it seems to me also quite unique. I wonder if anyone could amplify the history of this action.

Hello Androo: Neither reasons, dear Sir! I am a child of recovering alcoholic parents. By all means, I do not judge anyone of their penchant for spirits (I wish I could indulge). I merely would enjoy such a concoction even without "subtle flavoures imparted by the alcoholic ingredients", dear Sir. --Manaia PS: I do have a half-brother by the name of Androo. ++++ --- On Sun, 8/3/08, Andrew Sellon <andrew@sellon.vispa.com> wrote: > Manaia Alofa wrote: > > -H: > > > > Since I don't imbibe/indulge I guess this can be > made virginally - yes? > > > > I mean the taste would be the same as with liquor - > yes?

Sara Jeannette Duncan was an astute observer of Edwardian society and of the manifestations of British Imperialism. She was well aware of its glamour and its power. Emotionally, however, she remained engaged with Canada and, as a writer, she was particularly aware of the irony inherent in the peculiarly Canadian Imperialist ideology, at its peak of power when she left Canada in 1889. When Sara Duncan wrote The Imperialist in early 1900's she was in Simla, India, looking back some twelve years after she had left Canada, with a combination of sharp wit and affectionate nostalgia, at the fabric of life in a small town in Ontario as she remembered it. The third person narrative technique which she used for that novel is a distancing technique in itself; both historically and novelistically The Imperialist reads as a tale told from the past, though from a recent past.

The Last Empire: Photography in British India: 1855-1911 List Price : $39.95 India Through the Lens: Photography 1840-1911 The Unforgettable Maharajas: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Photography (Roli Books) >From Kashmir to Kabul: The Photographs of Burke and Baker, 1860-1900 A brilliant selection of virtually unknown and rare photographs of India taken between 1855 and 1911. Images include the work of early photographers and adventurers who first recorded the glories of the Himalayas, ancient archeological wonders and the picturesque façade of the British Raj in the subcontinent. This collection represents British views of a land that held romantic and exotic place in the western imagination. This little known book was one of the few that passed the stringent criteria we have for recommending the top selection on India. The British public was made aware of India's scenery long before the invention of photography. With the advent of camera, there was a deep interest in capturing the romance, glory and mysticism of the India. Western artists, photographers and adventurers made an attempt to understand and record the mysterious and exotic India. Many books were published during this time, which were a huge hit with public. By 1850s, photographic societies were established in Bombay, Bengal and Madras, and the East India Company was subsidizing photographers. This book is a collection of some of the most rare and extraordinary photographs of British India taken between 1855 and 1911, including the first photographs of the Himalayas, ancient archaeological wonders, the pageantry of British colonial troops, Indian landscapes, and ruling native princes. These have been gathered from collections throughout the world and many have never been seen outside the archives from which they were gathered. We at Recipedelights.com consider this an outstanding book that is a "must-buy" for Collectors. http://online-home-shopping.net/detail/c_Books/ASIN_0893814520/ --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar

To the late Brigadier Dalip Singh goes the credit of being the first Sikh to represent India in the Olympics. The 1924 Olympic Games were held in Paris in which India sent a contingent of seven athletes. In this seven-man squad, two Sikhs, Dalip and Palam made their debut.
