First-class price 35 cents, including potatoes, bread, butter and condiments. 1/2 pound slice of calf's liver.
Cut the liver broad and thin, pepper and salt, dip both sides in flour, broil and while it is cooking brush it over with soft butter.
Fry the 2 slices of bacon first, then finish on the gridiron. Serve the liver with the butter frothing upon it, the bacon on top and potatoes around in the dish.
Cost of material. The supply of call's liver is never equal to the demand and the butchers easily get 25c per pound. Beef liver has to be the main reliance for this dish and can be had much cheaper. Liver average 10, bacon (allowing for waste in cutting) 6, butter 1, potatoes 1, bread, butter, etc. 5; 23c.
