SUBSTITUTE FOR ROAST DUCK. Many persons are very partial to roast duck, but ducks are expensive where there are many mouths to feed. A very good substitute is the following: Take a small shoulder of mutton— if too large, it must be halved — let the butcher bone it for you ; he will do it better than it can be done at home, because his knives are sharper. Put the bones on to stew with some vege- tables for soup, and make a duck stuffing with sage and onions. Quantity required : about four onions par- boiled, four or five sage leaves scalded and chopped finely with the onions, two ounces each of bread crumbs and mashed potatoes, plenty of pepper

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