How we cook in Tennessee ..

Fried Beef Liver. — Liver is usually cut in thin slices ; trim off the skin around it, and pour over it boiling water, which closes the pores of the meat and seals up the rich juice of the meat. Salt and pepper and dredge with flour. If a few slices of breakfast bacon are first fried, the grease may be used to fry the liver in, and the bacon used to garnish the platter. Do not fry over too hot a fire, or it will be hard. Keep covered. Liver Fritters. — One pound calf's liver and two slices of salt pork or bacon; also one slice of onion. Cut all with fine plate of food cutter. Add salt, pepper, one tablespoonful of flour and one egg. Mix thoroughly. Fry slowly in hot fat. — Mrs. Isaac Tigrett. Pot Roast. — Take piece of beef weighing five or six pounds, not too fat. Wash it and put in a pot with just enough water to cover it. Set over a slow fire and after it has stewed one hour, salt and pepper it. Stew until tender, adding a little onion. Take meat from the pot and pour the gravy in a bowl. Put a large lump of butter in the bottom of pot, dredge the meat with flour and return it to the pot to brown, turning it often to prevent burning. Skim the fat off the gravy. Pour the gravy in with the meat, thicken with flour wet with water, and pour gravy into a gravy dish. Serve the meat on a platter. Beef Heart. — Open the heart sufficiently to remove the ventricles, then soak it in water until the blood is discharged. Parboil the heart until nearly tender. Prepare a dressing of bread crumbs and salt fat pork chopped fine; season with pepper, salt and a little chopped onion ; stuff the heart with the dressing and secure the opening with small skewers; cut thin slices of fat ham or bacon and lay in the pan with about two tablespoonfuls of hot water. Place the heart in the pan and baste with the gravy until done ; serve hot. — Mrs. H. J. Vandenbrook. Beef Steak Rolls. — Prepare a good dressing as for chicken; take a round steak, pound it, salt and pepper and a few bits of butter ; roll the steak up tightly and tie closely ; spread two big spoons of butter over the steak after rolling, then wash it with a well beaten egg ; put water in a bakepan, lay in the steak so as not to touch the water and bake, basting often. If you have no rack to your bakingpan, you may easily make one by cutting a tin can up the side and laying it out flat ; then the roll may be taken out of the pan easily. A half-hour in a brisk oven will bake. Make a brown gravy and send to the table hot. Veal Cutlets. — Salt and pepper, then dip in beaten egg and cracker crumbs ; fry in hot lard. Veal Roast. — Select a thick roast ; salt and pepper it, sprinkle flour on top, put it in the bakingpan with sufficient water to roast it. Be careful not to put it in a very hot oven, and baste frequently ; make gravy to serve with it. Veal Stew. — Wash and cut up two pounds of veal; cut in pieces about three inches long; boil, taking off the scum as it rises ; salt and pepper to taste ; cut in quarters six Irish potatoes, but do not add them until the veal is almost done, as they must not cook mealy; add a heaping table spoon of butter, with a little flour rubbed in.
