market be distinctive und different

products, and also that the abundant
local foods be utilized to the utmost
extent. "Dixie Burgoo" is the trade

meets both requirements, in that it Is
unusual, and contains in delightful
combination foods easily obtained in
most Southern localities. Originally
“burgoo." or “burgout.’’ was the name
applied by French sailors to oatmeal

been used to designate a combination 1
of ineat and vegetables. Th emeat
