Fry with butter, either in large or small cakes in a pan, the cakes
rather larger than sausages. If you have cold ham, it is an advantage
to add some of it to the mince; and the whole is very nice made of
cold pickled beef.--_Mrs. C. M. A._
POT POURRI.
Take any kind of fresh meat chopped fine, and put into a stewpan with
a little warm water, pepper and salt, and chopped onion. Cook twenty
minutes; then put into a baking-dish with an equal quantity of bread
crumbs, and pour over a cup of sweet cream. Bake to a light
brown.--_Mrs. F. D._
HASH.
One and one-half teacup of boiling water must be poured into a
saucepan, mix one heaping spoonful flour with one tablespoonful cold
water, stir it in and boil three minutes. Then add two teaspoonfuls
salt, half a small teaspoonful pepper, and butter size of an egg.
After removing all tough, gristly pieces from the cold cooked meat,
chop it fine with some boiled potatoes. Put them in the dressing, heat
through, then serve. It injures meat to cook it _again_, making it
hard and unpalatable. Should you have any cold gravy left, use it; in
that case you will require less butter, salt and pepper. You can serve
it with buttered toast underneath, or you may set it into the oven to
brown on top, or drop eggs into a skillet of boiling salt water, and
when cooked, place on top of hash.--_Mrs. J._
CASSA ROLLS.
Boil some Irish potatoes until quite done, mash them smooth and add an
equal quantity of salt meat chopped fine. Mix with this several well
beaten eggs, one spoonful butter, some pepper and salt.
Bake in little cakes like potato cakes.--_Mrs. F. D._
RAGOÛT SOUSE.
Split four feet once, fry with one or two dozen large oysters, a light
brown. Lay them in a stewpan over the liquor from the oysters, or some
beef or veal gravy; add one large spoonful butter rolled in flour, one
dozen allspice, beaten, one glass red wine, one glass walnut catsup,
and pepper.
Stew gently until dinner, skimming off any grease. Garnish with
hard-boiled eggs. Mace or cloves may be used instead of
allspice.--_Mrs. B._
BREAKFAST DISH.
Take the remnant of any cold meats, either boiled or roasted. Prepare
it, as if for chicken salad, in fine shreds. Mix with potatoes mashed
fine, and add two well-beaten eggs.
Season with butter, pepper, and other spices if you like.
Make it into a loaf and bake it brown, or fry it in cakes if
preferred.--_Mrs. J. F. G._
MOCK TERRAPIN.
Mince cold veal very fine, sprinkle with salt and cayenne. Mash the
yolks of three hard-boiled eggs, three tablespoonfuls cooking wine,
three tablespoonfuls cream or milk, a little nutmeg and a little mixed
mustard, a large lump of butter with a little flour rubbed in.
Let all steam five minutes, and serve hot on toast.
A nice relish for breakfast or lunch.--_Miss E. S., La._
