Cut the veal in pieces suitable for serving. Caramelize the sugar and, when dark, add the onion, stirring until coated. Add the boiling water and meat. When boiling rapidly, cover closely, put in the oven and cook till tender, about two hours. Then add the seasonings, the butter and flour rubbed together, and boil up once. Serve surrounded with boiled brown or uncoated rice, either plain or curried.

1 tablespoonful tomato catsup (optional) 1/4 teaspoonful pepper Bacon fat

Cook the crumbs and milk to a paste. Add it to the veal, ham, pepper, lemon juice, catsup, parsley and seasonings and mix well. Make into egg-shaped balls, roll in flour and saute (fry) in bacon fat till light brown. Transfer to a casserole, and pour over a gravy made from the fat left in the frying pan, the flour and the stock. Cook in a moderate oven till done, thirty minutes for the cooked meat, and an hour for the raw. Serve on toast points, garnish with parsley, and surround by gravy.
Order a knuckle of veal, sawed through the bone. Boil it in salted water containing a half teaspoonful of pickle spice, until the meat is tender. Drain and cool it, chop the meat fine, season it with additional salt and pepper and a little lemon juice if the flavor is liked. Boil down the liquor to one cupful, mix with the meat and pack into a bread pan which has been rinsed with cold water. Put a second pan on top of the meat, weight and chill.
