Asparagus tips, au gratin Coffee Potato salad Savarin au rhum Coffee DINNER Potato and leek soup Corned beef and cabbage Plain boiled potatoes Broiled chicken on toast Lettuce with egg dressing Coupe St. Jacques Assorted cakes Coffee Thon marine salad. Tunny fish can be obtained in cans, the best quality being the French brands. Break up the fish with the fingers, and place on a platter with leaves of lettuce. The fish should be in pieces about one inch and a half thick. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, chopped parsley, chervil, and a little finely sliced chives, and a sauce of one-third vinegar and two-thirds olive oil. Stuffed breast of veal, au jus. Have your butcher prepare a breast of veal ready for stuffing. Use the same dressing as for chicken, and sew up the end so the dressing will not fall out while roasting. Put in the roasting pan one sliced onion and one carrot. Put in the veal and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put bits of butter all over the top and roast in oven, basting often. It will take about an hour to cook in a moderate oven. Remove the veal to platter when done, and make a sauce by adding to the gravy in pan one cup of bouillon and one spoonful of meat extract, boil for five minutes, and strain. Asparagus tips, au gratin. Put the tips in a buttered pan or silver dish, cover with well-seasoned cream sauce, sprinkle with grated cheese and small bits of butter
