Stewed Kidneys — Parboil the kidneys and cover-
ing with cold water, season w|ith salt and pepper — be
sure to cut off all the fat first; when they begin to
boil skim as often as necessary. When done add a
head of celery chopped fine, one onion chopped, six
potatoes sliced, and one-half cup of butter✪ Stewed Kidneys. When
done, thicken the stew with brown flour. If you want
the stew real brown, always fry the kidneys in a little
butter before stew;ing them.
Pork — Pork should be eaten in small quantities and
not very often. Fresh pork, if good, has a firm, clear,
white skin, pale red lean, and pure white fat. Butch-
ers make good money out of pork because every part
of the hog is made us of. The feed under the guise
of souse, is the most digestible portion of the animal.
Deviled Meats — Take cold boiled meats, chop very
fine, season well with red pepper and dry mustard,
add a little vinegar tO' moiste✪ Deviled Meatsn, press solid and slice it
thin if you want it sliced. All deviled meats are made
in this way. The word ''deviled" means "very hot"
or "highly seasoned."

ing water over it and let stand until cool, then pull
off the edges, roll in flour, fry some breakfast bacon
first✪ Fried Liver and then fry the liver in the bacon fat. Lay the

Boiled Beef Tongue — Wash the tongue well, put
in cold water and let boil from five to six hours✪ Boiled Beef Tongue. Then
take off the skin. Serve hot with oyster sauce or
slice cold. Should the tongue be corned or smoked,
soak twenty-four hours before boiling.
Rolled Beef — Take a piece of beef, make a dress-
ing as for chicken. Spread over the beef, roll tightly
and tie. Fold in a thin cloth✪ Rolled Beef, boil tender. Take up,
drain and press under a weight, slice cold. Serve
with pickles. Corn beef is delicious this way.
Lamb — An Irishman buying lamb asked the butcher
to please tell him the difference between the sheep,
mutton, and the lamb. We wish to say lamb is only
in season from May to September. The bones are a
little reddish in color, and the fat is firm and white.
Veal — Veal is a meat that is quite a favorite, but
it requires a lot of discrimination in its selection. It
also requires very thorough cooking; even then it is
indigestible. Many do not think veal a wholesome
meat. In buying veal notice the color ; if it is very
white the calf has been bled, and this spoils the flavor.
Veal, when good, has a firm, white fat, and lean with
a pinkish tinge. Veal is unfit tO' eat if killed before
it is six weeks old. If veal is too young for use it is
bluish in color. The fillet is the part used for roasting ;
it may be stuffed or roasted plain. The fillet is the
solid piece of meat from the upper leg.
Roast Lamb — Put the roast in the pan, dredge with
flour, put salt and pepper over it ; if the lamb is lean
pour a little melted butter over it. When it cooks a
little add a little water and baste often. Allow twfenty-
30
five minutes to the pound. When done take out the
pan, pour off the fat, add one cup of milk or cream,
let come to the boil, then add tablespoonful of lemon
juice and some chopped parsley✪ Roast Lamb, thicken slightly and
serve separately. Serve with green peas.
