It is far better to avoid pork, though if you must have it the best methods and prepara- tion are as follows : 26. Roast Pork. — Make a plain stuffing and roast twenty minutes to the pound, basting often. Serve with apple sauce. 27. Baked Tenderloin of Pork. — Split four or five large tenderloins and make a. stuffing of bread crumbs moistened with one table- spoonful melted butter and seasoned with salt, and a very little thyme, about one- quarter teaspoonful. Put one-half the tender- loins in a baking pan, spread stuffing on each and cover each one with another tenderloin ; put in a hot oven, with some bits of suet in the pan; after twenty minutes add a little water. Roast three-quarters of an hour, bast- ing frequently. Thicken the gravy and serve with apple sauce. - 28. Boiled Ham. — Soak over night, wash well and boil sowly in plenty of cold water four or five hours, according to size. Leave in the water until cold, then remove skin. 98 THE PHYSICAL CULTURE COOK BOOK. RECHAUFFES. 29. Beef Stew.— Cut the best of the meat left from yesterday's roast into dice, leaving rim, etc., for soup. Put in a stewpan with any gravy which may have been left, and enough water to cover, one slice onion, a little dried celery, salt. Cook slowly for two hours; then put in some raw potatoes peeled and quar- tered, and cook one-half hour longer. If the water cooks off too much, add a little more before serving, and thicken the gravy with flour. 30. Meat Balls. — One bowl full of fine chopped cold meat; add one cup of bread or cracker crumbs, a little chopped onion, a little gravy mixed with the crumbs to moisten them. Season with salt, thyme or savory, and fry in balls. If there is no gravy use milk. We rec- ommend no immature meats such as lamb, veal, etc. 31. Lamb and Macaroni. — Cut lean cooked lamb into bits, boil one-half package (or one- half pound) macaroni for one hour. Put a layer of macaroni in a baking dish, season, cover with a layer of meat, then add another layer of macaroni, then more meat. Cover with bread crumbs, season and put on some THE PHYSICAL CULTURE COOK BOOK. 99 bits of butter; add one cup of gravy, or gravy and water, or milk, and bake one-half to three-- quarters of an hour.

Lamb Croquettes. — Take one cupful cold lamb, chopped, one cupful cold boiled rice, one egg, two tablespoonfuls cream or milk, a few drops onion juice, salt; mix and cook in boil- ing oil or fat. 33. Veal Croquettes. — Cut away fat and gristle from the meat, and chop fine. Take one cupful veal, one cupful breadcrumbs, one egg, one-half cupful milk, a few drops onion juice, salt, heat the milk, veal and crumbs, and add egg and seasoning. The result should be a mixture soft enough to drop from a spoon. Set aside to cool. When cold, form into cro- quettes, dip in egg and then in fine cracker crumbs and fry in hot fat'. 34. Minced Veal on Toast. — Put chopped veal on the stove with a little butter, salt and enough gravy or milk to moisten well. Cook for ten or fifteen minutes, and serve on toast. 35.

If, however, they must be bought in. the city markets, get them as fresh as possible, and select them carefully. If they are drawn at the butcher shop,~it wilt be necessary to examine them carefully and see that the lungs and windpipe are not left in, as they usually are. i.
