Travel, To make it, you plunge a large
lump of ice into a bowl partly filled with
steaming vermicelli of the endless va-
riety. Over this you pour a portion of
hot beef stew. The ice congeals the
beef fat into little islands of grease,
and you never know whether the por-
tion dangling from the end of your
chopsticks will be icy cold or burning
hot. The vermicelll, which is very
tough, is to be lifted to the mouth with
the chopsticks. Keeping a firm hold on

chopsticks dewn to 1ift again and take
