Meat that has been boiled for the purpose of making broth should not be disregaixled on account of it8 loss of savour and uninviting aspect. When the broth is made, the different sorts of meat should be taken out of the stock- pot, placed on a dish, and sent to the table garnished with some of the vegetables that were cooked with it ; or in other cases, special vegetables may be simply and carefully pre- pared (according to season and taste) as I have indicated in the chapter on Garnishes. Meat served thus will be found both profitable and useful, and ought to hold its own in the domestic cookeiy of this country, as well a& it does in that of France and Italy; but it can also be prepared under various palatable and tasty dishes, for which see the following. 880.
