Mmm, Mmm Good!

EVERY week some burned-up consumers write in to President Richard Nixon, saying, in effect: "O.K., Mr. President, since your answer to high food prices is to be patient and wait for lower ones, let's hear what you eat." The White House dutifully mails back recipes for some of the Nixon family's favorite low-budget dishes. Few involve any kitchen wizardry that is likely to tax Presidential Chef Henry Haller's Swiss culinary education. Daughter Tricia Nixon Cox is fond of a fowl dish that is glopped up with two cans of cream of chicken soup, and the First Family's "Continental salad" is dominated by canned beets, canned grapefruit juice and a package of JellO. Other main courses recently served to the nation's highest-paid ($200,000 a year plus $50,000 expense money and free lodging and transportation) public servant: beef roulades, tamales, chicken egg rolls, roast pork and lasagna.

Following is the White House recipe for "The President's Favorite Meat Loaf":

l 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef

3 tbs. bread crumbs

2 tbs. whipping cream

2 tbs. tomato sauce

1 egg

1 tbs. chopped parsley

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1 tsp. seasoning salt

Mix all ingredients well. Form into loaf, place in pan, pour additional tomato sauce over loaf. Bake 30 min. at 375DEG, turn heat down to 350DEG and bake 20 min. longer.
