" Dear Mr. Zern: In a recent 'Exit Laughing' in which you wrote about
Ted Trueblood and his Dutch oven, you mentioned a Baked Alaska. What is
it? J.R.C., Oklahoma. Dear Mr. C.: That was a typographical error, of
course, and should have read "Baked Alaskan". During the early days of
that 51state conditions were primitive, life was hazardous, and
cannibalism was sometimes necessary for survival. And anyone who has
ever tried eating a raw Alaskan will understand why those who survived
learned a number of recipes just for emergencies."
