Should I start with a still life of food? The table sagging under the weight of bowls of tomato soup and crackers, big fat hamburgers made with garlic and onion and broiled in the oven, a fruit bowl overflowing with apples, oranges, bananas, peaches and grapes, rye bread with caraway seeds, veal chops fried in eggs and bread crumbs, mountains of french fries and fried onions, and fish, all kinds of fish - Lake Superior whitefish and fried perch, broiled and smoked fish.
