* 1 lbs. Steak--5d. * * 1 gill Green Peas--2d. * * 1 gill French Beans--1d. * * 1/2 oz. Flour * * 1 oz. Butter * * 1 Carrot * * 1 Turnip * * 1/2 pint Gravy * * Salt--1 1/2d. * * Total Cost--91/2 d. * * Time--Three Hours * Cut the steak into neat pieces and fry very quickly in the butter; take it out, put in the flour, and when quite smooth pour on the gravy and stir until it boils. Put back the steak, and simmer very gently for three hours. Cut the carrot and turnip up into thin strips, and put them in when the steak has been cooking for two hours. Boil the peas and beans separately, and add them to the stew five minutes before serving. Arrange the steak on a hot dish, put the vegetables round, and pour over the gravy. The greater the variety of vegetables used the nicer this dish will be. KROMSKIES * 1/2 lb. Cold Meat--2d. * * 2 Rashers Fat Bacon--2d. * * 1 oz. Butter--1d. * * Frying Butter--1d. * * 1/2 gill Stock * * 1 oz. Flour * * Parsley, Pepper, and Salt * * Hot Fat--1/2d. * * Total Cost--61/2 d. * * Time--5 Minutes * Mince the meat finely or put it through the sausage machine, season with parsley, pepper, and salt; put the butter into a saucepan, and when it is melted stir in the flour and the stock. Stir until it boils, then add the meat and mix thoroughly. Turn on to a plate to cool. When cold make up into pieces about the size of a cork. Take some very thin rashers of fat bacon and cut into strips about half an inch wide by two inches long. Roll the meat in this, dip in frying batter, and fry in very hot fat; drain for a few minutes on kitchen paper, pile high on a dish, garnish with fried parsley, and serve very hot. KOTTBULLAR * 2 lbs. Fillet or Beef--10d. * * 1/2 lb. Suet--1d. * * Salt and Pepper * * Hot Fat * * 1/2 pint Milk--1d. * * 2 Eggs--2d. * * Nutmeg * * Soda Biscuit * * Total Cost--1s. 21/2 d. * * Time--10 Minutes * Mince the lean of the meat very small with about a quarter of a pound of the suet which surrounds it; season with pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Make a little boiled custard by recipe given elsewhere, pour it over the biscuit, which must be made into fine crumbs, then stir in the meat and let it get quite cold. Roll into small balls with a little flour. Put three ounces of dripping into a frying pan, and when very hot drop in the balls and fry a good colour; drain for a few minutes on kitchen paper, and dish in a circle. Serve hot.
