pounded to paste, the strained juice of half a large lemon, and a little salt, pepper, cayenne, and grated nutmeg. A wine-glassful of sherry or madeira will greatly improve the gravy.

Saw off the chine-bone, shorten the rib-bones, trim the cutlets neatly, and flatten them. Sprinkle a little pepper and salt upon them. Brush them over first with clarified butter or oil, then with beaten egg ; dip them in bread-crumbs, once more into oil, and then into the bread-crumbs again. Broil over a clear fire of a moderate heat, and turn them that they may be equally cooked on both sides. When they are brightly browned take them up, arrange them on a dish alter- nately with rashers of ham or bacon, and send good gravy, or tomato, or any piquant sauce to table with them. Time to broil the cut- lets, ten to fifteen minutes, according to size. Probable cost. Is. to Is. 2d. per pound.

Serve with a brown Italian sauce, Spanish sauce, or gravy. Veal Cutlets, Broiled, Plain.— Divide the best end of a neck of veal into neat cutlets, allowing one bone to each. Trim these neatly, cut away the chine-bone, shorten the rib- bones, and flatten the cutlets with a cutlet-bat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides, brush them over shghtly with oil, and broil on a grid- iron over a clear slow fire till they are nicely browned on both sides. Serve on a hot dish, with a few slices of ham or bacon on a separate dish. Good brown gravy, or tomato or any piquant sauce, may be sent to table with veal cutlets. Time to broil the cutlets, ten to fifteen minutes, according to thickness. Probable cost. Is. per pound. Veal Cutlets, Curried.— Cut one pound of veal Veal Cutlets and Tomatoes from the fiUet into neat squares con- venient for serving, and free from skin, bone, gristle, or fat. Beat these well, and dip them twice into beaten egg and bread-crumbs seasoned with ciu-ry powder. Fry in a little butter over a gentle fire, and turn them that they may be equally cooked.
