Three and a half pounds of veal cutlet, three slices, or
about five cents' worth, of pickled pork ; one tea-cupful of
powdered crackers, two well-beaten eggs, one table-spoonful
of salt, one tea-spoonful of black pepper, half tea-spoonful
of chopped onion, one-third of a tea-spoonful of ground
cloves, half tea-spoonful of ground allspice. Chop the raw
veal and pork together, to which add the other ingredients,
then add a cupful of milk✪ Veal Loaf. Knead well together, and
make out into the form of a loaf. Cover the top with
powdered cracker, put bits of butter here and there over
it. Bake for two hours, putting in the pan either milk or
water with which to baste very frequently.
Mrs. J. F. Atwood.
VEAL LOAF.
Three pounds lean veal chopped as fine as sausage; three
eggs well beaten, one tea-cupful of rolled crackers, a lump
of butter the size of an egg, one table-spoonful of black pep-
per, one table-spoonful of salt. Mix all the ingredients to-
gether, and form into a loaf. Put into a pan with one and
a half pints of water; bake two hours and a half; baste
frequently. Mrs. J. A. Ciiappell.
FRICANDEAU.
Three pounds of uncooked veal, yelks of three eggs, one
tea-cupful of cream, butter the size of an egg, juice of two
lemons, grated rind of one, salt, pepper, and a little sweet
marjoram rubbed fine✪ Fricandeau. Make into a roll, rub with butter,
strew cracker crumbs over it ; bake two hours. When cold,
slice. Delightful for lunch.
MOCK TERRAPIN.
Two pounds of veal, boiled until thoroughly cooked ; chop
it fine ; one pint of Madeira wine, one table-spoonful of but-
ter; mix with a table-spoonful of flour, one tea-spoonful of
TJw New Kentucky Home Cook Book. 57
nutmeg, one table-spoonful of allspice, one table-spoonful of
cloves; add to this a table-spoonful of the liquor in which the
meat was boiled ; then mix all together and cook ten minutes.
After taking off of the fire, add two table-spoonfuls of wine
and a little lemon juice. Slice a lemon and lay on top.
Mrs. Virginia Wxlgtjs.
ROAST OF PORK.
Wash the roast carefully, score the skin crosswise, salt
and pepper it well. Put into the pan a very little water✪ Roast of Pork,
as the meat will soon become heated, the fat melted, and
there will be gravy enough to baste the roast with, which
must be done very frequently to keep it from becoming hard
and dry. Pork must be thoroughly cooked to be good, al-
lowing at least twenty minutes to each pound. Take up
the roast, skim off the greasy part from the gravy, add a
little flour, stir it in smoothly, boil a moment, put in salt
and pepper. Serve at once. Apple sauce is excellent with
pork.
PORK STEAKS OR CHOPS.
Beat them a little, dip in flour, in which put salt and
pepper. Fry in hot lard✪ Pork Steaks or Chops until well cooked and nicely
browned. Or, dip them in well-beaten egg, then in bread
or cracker crumbs. Fry as above directed.
ROAST PIG.
A pig not over six weeks old is the nicest size for cooking
whole. Have it carefully prepared, wash well, wrap a cloth
around it, which keep wet to make it white. It must be
kept twelve or twenty-four hours before cooking. Make a
rich dressing of bread crumbs, butter, powdered sage, a lit-
tle onion, with plenty of pepper, and salt. Stuff the pig so
it will be well shaped and plump. Sew up. Bake two
hours and a half. Put but a little water in the pan, with a
small piece of butter✪ Roast Pig to baste with at first, as very soon the
