(4) PS Illustrated by Deborah Ousley Kadair. Downing adapts a traditional song and runs through the days of the week to introduce the diverse culinary heritage of Texas--pan de campo (recipe included), chicken-fried steak, chili, sweet onions, grapefruit, barbecue, and strudel. Textured collages with oddly blank-faced people accompany the writing. The refrain "All you lucky children, come and eat it up" is better as a song lyric than text.
