Don't ever use the hood on your anorak; and, if you do, for heaven's sake don't pull the string tight so that you peep out like a little baby in a siren suit.

Will your dukeship / Sit down and eat some sugar-plums?

Leave honest pleasure, and haunt no good pastime.

This recipe is my version of the famous aubergine and tomato salad called zaalouk, one of the best of all cooked Moroccan salads. Utterly delicious on slices of warm Berber Griddle Breads (page 110), zaalouk will keep for several days in the refrigerator, getting better and better.
