FRIED MUTTON CHOPS. For this dish the dainty French chops that are at once so deli- cious and so expensive need not be used. The large, coming further down the leg and resembling cutlets more than chops are quite as good. Beat them hard with the flat of a hatchet, crush- ing the bones, dip each first into beaten egg, then into cracker crumbs. Have ready plenty of boiling hot lard or drippings

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
