Pork left-overs are left to the imag- ination of the perplexed cook, and the result is gener- ally cold pork till the end of the chapter. There are all sorts of agreeable methods for using this meat. Cold pork is, in the esteem of some persons, better than when hot. Serve it in neatly cut slices for tea or luncheon at the second meal, then take stock of the remains and look to the future. Roast pork bones make an excellent brown stock, almost as rich as that from roast beef. Trim the scraps from the bones and consign them to the soup kettle. Cut with a keen knife all the fat from meat that is not to be served cold. This fat rendered down makes an excel- lent dripping to saute potatoes. Chop it, set in a covered jar in the oven and allow it to melt. Strain and set away in the refrigerator. 126 Left-Overs The tender white meat of pork makes a salad which tastes very much like chicken. Sometimes if one has a few bits of chicken left over they may be combined with the pork, cut in neat cubes, and the fraud can scarcely be detected. Pork makes excellent croquettes or is good sliced and reheated in a cup of its brown gravy. It may be minced, enriched by a few spoons of gravy and poured on toast for a break- fast dish. Cold ham has a multitude of uses. A few scraps may be converted into a delicious sandwich or give an excellent flavor to a salad or egg dish. . Even cold sausage has its uses, while a slice or two of cold broiled bacon put through a meat chopper and added to croquette mixtures provides an agreeable seasoning. MINCED HAM ON TOAST Toast several slices of stale bread. Butter and spread lightly with mustard, then over that put a thin layer of minced ham seasoned with a dash of cayenne. On top put a delicate grating of cheese. Set in a hot oven and let the cheese dissolve. Serve hot for luncheon or tea.
