The imperial kitchen of the sultan of
Turkey is more like awfortress than a
place to cook his meals, for It has an
armor-plated door, and Is fitted with
locks which can be opened only by one
man. As each course is prepared, it Is
placed on a silver dish, which is sealed
with red wax by the official responsible
for his sovereign's food, and then a
black velvet cover is placed over the
dish to keep it warm.
A process'.on of people follows fhe
