By the enquete survey on the house wives of 134 farmer's households, considered representative in 5 sectors of Obara villege, a remote agricultural villege under the administration of the Toyota Health Center of Aichi Prefecture, we studied the using frequency of 148 menus used daily in these households. The results were as follows:
(1) We found that the pattern of menu used most frequently in these farmers' households were; 1) fried eggs, 2) fried sweet potatoes (tempura) 3) chinese noodle, 4) beans paste soup, 5) Curry and Rice, 6) boiled vegetables. These 6 kinds of dishes are considered to be used as a important model-menu in the dietary education in Obara villege.
(2) On the other hand, menus whose using frequencies were lowest were menus of sticky fluid, such as Ankake (soup mixed with precooked starch). and menus suitable to be taken with bread, such as stew, soup of foreign cooking, etc.
