16. Why are fewer calories yielded by lamb than by mutton? by veal than by beef? by dried beef than by corned beef? (See charts. Appendix A.) 17. Trace the relation between the experiments and the practical work of this chapter. EXERCISES 1. Make diagrams of the veal and mutton animals, making the key to the diagrams, etc., as in the case of the beef animal. 100 PRINCIPLES OF FOOD PREPARATION 2. Make a tabular list, in parallel columns, of the substances found, respectively, in (1) raw beef; '(2) broiled steak; (3) boiled corned beef; (4) soup stock before clearing; (5) soup stock after clearing; (6) meat left after making stock. Indicate in each case where any substance was lost, in part or wholly, during the process of preparation. 3. A fritadella is a dish made from highly seasoned minced meat, mixed with an equal amount of mashed potato, and sauted on a hot pan. Or it may be pressed into a mold, and steamed or baked. Make a fritadella from the meat left over from the stock, using appropriate seasoningFritadella to make up for the loss of the extractives. 4. On what principle would you combine gelatine with meat? Illustrate by using both in the making of some dish. 5. What constituents of beef are lacking in veal? Cook veal in two ways, showing (1) how you may compen- sate for the lack ; (2) how you can utilize to the utmost the traces of the constituents which are present. 6. The flavor of meat is developed in proportion to the degree of heat employed in cooking it. Show the degrees of this development of flavor in three methods of cooking meat. 7.

(1 pint) of milk. 2. 14 oz. water in 1 lb. milk. 3. .5 oz. proteid in 1 lb. milk. 4. .65 oz. fat in 1 lb. milk. 5. .85 oz. carbohydrates in 1 lb. milk. 6. 1 oz. mineral salts in 1 lb. milk. To the Student. Milk is said to be a perfect food, be- cause it contains all that is necessary to sustain life. The young of all mammals live on it, and develop muscle and bone, teeth and skin and hair and hoof, and energy and intelligence, on this food alone. Human grown-ups, in certain physical conditions, are confined to merely this food for periods of perhaps months, and have en- joyed life and liberty, and pursued happiness — as well as their customary avocations — while restricted to this diet. Milk contains all the food principles — protein, fat, car- bohydrate, water, and minerals — in the right proportion 101 102 PRINCIPLES OF FOOD PREPARATION
