Cosmopolitan Cuisine
Kamaboko
There are certain foods which we've always taken for granted
& -hat the only way to have them is to buy them. One such item is
RAMABOKO. Who would have thought of making it in one’s own
kitchen? Well, there's no reason not to. Here are two foolproof
Stipes. Very easy and quick, and there’s no comparison in flavor
4 between Giese and those from the market.
“’
You can even fashion a thin piece of board on which to steam
3. he kamaboko.
KAMABOKO
(Fish Loaf)
Ingredients:
1 lb. white fish meat
3 one-third cup starch or rice powder
i r tsp. salt
1 tbsp, sugar
-.
■4 tsp. Ajinomoto
1
5 2 tbsp, water
Method:
Put the fish meat through fine blade grinder, or if using suri
bachi, grind it well.
Add salt, sugar, starch, Ajinomoto, water and beaten egg. Knead
4
thoroughly.
Prepare a board about one-third inch in thickness, put kneaded
fish meat on, shape into kamaboko leaf. Steam for 30 minutes.
When well cooled, serve with wasabi-shoyu (shoyu seasoned
with hot horseradish). Delicious!
FRESH ISHRIMP KAMAB
Ingredients:
lbs. fresh shrimps
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Ajinomoto
cup starch
cup flour
egg whites
tbsp, water
14 cup parboiled peas
Method:
Remove all shells, devein and wash shrimps in cold water, Slit
in halves and soak in salt water for a few minutes.
Drain and squeeze out all excess moisture by pressing the
shrimps against the bottom of the strainer.
Put drained shrimps through fine blade grinder or pound them
into pulp in suribachi.
Add salt, Ajinomoto, starch flour, whites of eggs and water.
Mix thoroughly and divide into two portions. In one, put parboiled
peas, kneading well. Form into a mound on a thin board, or just
into a loaf the shape of regular meat loaf.
Take^the other half of the shrimp paste, shape out flat on
sudare, sprinkle some chopped parsley and roll away from you,
same as you would nori-maki sushi.
Place this roll with sudare into boiling salt water, or place in
steamer with the other loaf of kamaboko and cook 20-25 minutes.
Culinary Cue: Some fine cooks prefer to boil their kamaboko in
salt water. We like to steam ours.,It seems a neater and more
economical way. In boiling there’s a chance of the loaf separating
from Hie board, or even pieces of it coming apart. When you've put
work into making something, every morsel is too precious to lose,
Although the broth does make good soup base—we're making
KAMABOKO here, and we still stick to steaming.

The ‘64 Language Problem
By FRED ALLGOOD
Warning to travellers with an eye on Japan: don’t laugh old
the language problem.
And don't be misled by travel agents who claim the Japanese
speak English so universally that tourists can go anywhere, anytime,
with ease.
Some Japanese can handle English with ease, many more can
stammer out a few embarrassed sentences, but millions can’t speak
a Word and will only bow politely when you stop them and ask tue
way to the railway station.
Of course if you check into a Western style hotel in Tokyo and
join organized excursions, you will be nurse-maided through the
language barrier.
But to feel the pulse of Japan, to stay in Japanese-style inns,
to huddle in the teeming masses of the Tokyo underground trains,
you can't get by without some basic phrases and the knowledge of
what some of tire Japanese characters mean on station and street
signs.
*
*
*
Most ticket office clerks at railway stations canT speak a single
word of English, and you can search in vain for a Kyoto pohceman,
cab driver or bus conductor to direct you to the Golden Pavilion. .
I nearly missed the express train from Kyoto to Tokyo while
I tried to buy a ticket from a bewildered clerk. And when I found
out the train left from platform three, I couldn’t locate this plat
form as they were numbered in Japanese and not Roman numerals.
At a Japanese inn in Kyoto I tried to convince the owner that
my one-year-old daughter needed special baby food and did not take
too kindly to raw fish. I gave him two tins to heat, and he scamper
ed away. Ten minutes later he returned with his own daughter'
clutching the tins and bowing thanks. I never saw the baby food'
again and the baby cried most of the night with an empty stomach.
°
$
Time and time again I found myself wishing I knew a few words
and phrases to get me by. I looked at the Oriental letter characters
and wondered with mounting curiosity what they meant.
I had to stand outside the rest rooms baffled by the signs until
someone used one. I had to walk through the city clutching a map
because the bus signs meant nothing. But I never did find anyone
Admittedly, English interpreters are being trained en-mass
to repair the broken strap of my camera case.
for the Olympic Games next year, but visitors still will face many
difficulties.
So if you are planning to visit the Land of the Rising Sun next
spring at Cherry Blossom time, next summer for an overland tour
or next fall for the Olympics do a little homework these long cold
winter nights.
Get yourself a text book of Japanese and learn a few phrases
and words. Try and familiarize yourself with some of the signs you
are likely to spot. You’ll find your visit will be far more rewarding.
You needn't go into the language too deeply. In fact you won’t
have time to do more than skim the surface of what is rated the
most difficult language in the world. It is not a precise language
like English or Chinese. In fact, vagueness and ambiguity are de
liberately cultivated for the Japanese are unwilling to cause others
to lose face by being too definite.
Moreover there are several versions of the language, the
honorific, formal, the polite and the colloquial. When you find 42
different words for the'first person singular, you start to despair.
' Nevertheless some basic phrases can be carefully polished so
■that you can stop a Japanese in the street, give a slight bow, and
;ask the way to the nearest taxi ramp.
