Put one pint of water into a frying-pan, and when it comes to a boil, thicken with one heaping spoonful of flour; season with salt, pepper and a little butter. Cut cold roast beef into slices, and put into this gravy, and let them boil five minutes. If there be any cold beef gravy, add it to the other, in which case you will not need quite so much butter. Serve boiled potatoes, tomatoes, boiled rice or macaroni and squash.
Cut the chops from the loin or the neck; broil as you do beefsteak, and serve in hot dishes. Serve mashed potatoes, stewed tomatoes, boiled onions and boiled rice.
Pare and slice six tomatoes; put a layer into a deep pudding dish, then put in a layer of slices of cold mutton, and dredge in flour, salt and pepper. Have the last layer tomatoes, over which sprinkle two rolled crackers. Bake one hour. Serve boiled potatoes, boiled rice, green corn, shelled beans.
Take the cold mutton that has remained from a for mer dinner, cut into thin slices, put into a pudding dish, and season with pepper and salt. Mix two tablespoonfuls of flour with cold water, then pour onto this one pint of boiling water, and season with pepper and salt, then pour this over the meat. Make a paste by rule for plain piecrust, and cover it. Bake one hour. Vegetables the same as for pie, with tomatoes, with the addition of stewed tomatoes.
Mutton fricassee is made the same as beef. Heap the meat in the centre of the dish, and garnish the sides with boiled rice. Send to the table very hot. Serve mashed potatoes, mashed turnips, baked tomatoes and shelled beans.
Take cold mutton (either boiled or roasted), cut into slices, and lay in a deep sauce-pan, and then put in one fourth of an onion, the same of turnip, and two potatoes, and one carrot, all cut into small pieces Dredge with flour, salt and pepper. Cover with cold water, and boil slowly one hour; then add two spoonfuls of flour mixed with cold water, and boil one hour longer. Have a dish ready with an edging of mashed potatoes (brown them or not, as you please), and into the centre of the dish turn the haricot. Serve mashed potatoes, boiled rice, mashed turnips and carrots.
Take all the fat from cold mutton, and then put it into the chopping-tray; dredge well with salt, pepper, and flour, and then chop (do not chop it very fine); then put into a sauce-pan, and to two pounds of meat allow one cup of boiling water and a spoonful of butter. Let it boil gently fifteen minutes, and dish on toast. This is a nice dish for breakfast or dinner.
Broil fifteen minutes over clear coals. Season with butter, pepper, and salt.
Cut veal into thin slices, and broil twenty minutes. Season with butter, pepper, and salt. This is the most unsavory method of cooking veal, and I would not recommend it.
