6 slices toast
6 slices bacon
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 cup grated cheese
Salt
Paprika
Make a white sauce of the butter, flour, salt, pepper and milk. Pour over the toast. Place grated cheese on top, and then a strip of rare bacon on top of each piece of toast. Place under the broiler for three minutes or until the bacon finishes cooking.
30 large oysters on the half shell
15 strips of bacon
Cut each strip of bacon in two. Broil until very rare. Place a piece of partially cooked bacon on each oyster. Place the oysters on a pan and put under a broiler which is only moderately hot, for too hot a fire toughens them. Cook only until the bacon is crisp - not over four minutes. The flavor of the bacon grease as it melts around the oysters is a great improvement over plain broiled oysters.
Split squabs down the back, removing the backbone. Clean. Dry with a damp cloth. Singe and remove pin feathers if there are any. Paint all over with a brush dipped in olive oil. Place on a broiler and broil quickly from ten to twelve minutes. Garnish with slices of orange through which a sprig of parsley has been run.
1 pound veal
1 pound chunk pork
1/4 pound ham
1 cup milk
1 cup cracker crumbs
2 eggs
Grind the three meats together. Season with salt and pepper. Add the milk to the cracker crumbs and let soak five minutes. Add to the meat and then add the beaten eggs. Bake one and one-half hours in a medium oven.
2 tablespoons granulated gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
2 egg yolks beaten well
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vinegar
Add milk to egg yolks and the dry ingredients. Place in double boiler. Add the gelatin which has soaked in the cold water and the vinegar. Cook until thick. Set aside to cool. Add two egg whites beaten stiff and one No. 2 1/2 can tuna. Place in mold which has been garnished with pimento, green pepper and hard cooked egg.
2 cups soft bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups chopped peanuts
1 cup cooked rice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Milk to moisten
Mix all materials and bake one-half hour in a moderate oven. Salted peanuts may be used in order to save time in preparation, and no salt will need to be added to the mixture. This is best served with a tomato sauce.
