Prepare a good pie-crust, not too rich. Roll out half an inch thick, cut into strips, and roll a small sausage in each strip. Put the rolls into a baking-pan, and bake for half or three-quarters of an hour.
Drop the sausages into boiling water and boil slowly until they float. Drain, and rub with a mixture of butter, lemon-juice, and made mustard, heated very hot.
Peel, core, and slice four or five tart apples. Make a syrup of one cupful each of sugar and water and cook the apples in it very slowly until tender. Prick the sausages with a fork, simmer in boiling water for fifteen minutes, then drain and brown in the oven. Put the sausages in the centre of a small deep platter, arrange the apples around in a border, and serve.
Soak a small lean ham in cold water for six hours, wipe dry, put into a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Add an onion, four sprigs of parsley, and six each of cloves and pepper-corns. Boil slowly for two hours. Let cool in the water, take up, skin, and sprinkle thickly with crumbs and sugar. Put into a roasting-pan with one pint of sherry. Bake for forty minutes, basting every ten minutes. Serve the ham hot with the gravy in a separate bowl, or cold if preferred.
Butter an earthen baking-dish and fill with alternate layers of cold cooked chopped ham and cooked and drained noodles. Have ham on top. Beat two eggs with a cupful of milk, pour over, cover with crumbs, dot with butter, and brown in the oven.
Dip the pork chops in beaten egg, then in seasoned crumbs, and put into a dripping-pan. Cover and cook in a very hot oven, adding a little boiling water if necessary to keep from burning. Serve with any preferred sauce.
Take two pounds of the pickled pigs' feet as they come from the market, and boil in water to cover, seasoning with salt, pepper, celery seed, and a little vinegar. Boil until the meat slips from the bones. Remove the meat, cut it into small pieces, and reduce the liquid by rapid boiling to a cupful. Put the meat into a mould, pour the liquid over, and set away to cool. Serve with potato salad.
Trim off all the fat and the sinew from two tenderloins of pork. Dip in seasoned oil and broil slowly. Chop fine one tablespoonful each of pickles and parsley and mix to a smooth paste with two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and one tea-spoonful of vinegar. Pour over the sauce and serve.
Split and trim the tenderloins, and marinate for an hour in lemon-juice and oil, seasoned with salt and pepper. Dip in fresh bread crumbs, broil, and serve with Piquante Sauce.
Wipe two pork tenderloins, put into a dripping-pan, and brown quickly in a hot oven. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and powdered sage and bake for forty-five minutes, basting from three to four times. Have half a dozen sweet potatoes parboiled. Peel, cut in half, sprinkle with sugar, and put into the pan with the meat. Cook until soft, basting whenever the meat requires it.
