The American Dinner.


An English writer. vino has made the.
tour of the States, gives this account OF:
the National dinner: 1.-The principal.
thing that characterizes an Americanl
dinner is its abundance. Huge joints;
iof meat are not so common in this
country as in England, eight pounds
! of sirloin or an eight-ponnd leg of,
mutton being considered fairly large
joint, while the English sixteen to
|twenty-pound roast are never seen in
private families. But outside of the
| size of the joint, everything else is on
la larger proportionate scale-large
dishes of vegetables and great varietyi
of them, large pies and huge tureen
full of soup however few are going to
sit at table Anything less than such
abundance savors, TO most Americans,
| of stint; and it is common to hear it re-
marked among them, OF English tables.

ing the lead in popularity, although Co
coanut, custard and lemon pies
are all favorites, small fruit less
so. In providing for their table
the mass of Americans rarely
consider what go with what (oi
course, there are the epicurean few who
do). Except the Yankee pork and
beans there seems to be no Wand so
welded to vegetable as to be spoken
of together, Ike our duck and green
peas, mutton and turnips,' etc. Gen
orally speaking, vegetables are chosen
haphazard, and so carrots, or dried
beans, or turnipS are as often served
with poultry as not; no question of the
eternal fitness of things seems to
trouble the average housekeeper.
Then, not only is the unftness of Ger.
tain meats unthought of, but the vege.
tables themselves are served with sub.
lime disregard to harmony, and so peas
and asparagus, and summer squash and
potatoes often find themselves cheek
by jowl on one plate. From four to
six vegetables are often served at once,
and two merely are considered by any
but very fashionable people (who affect
English and French customs very
much) to be very mean sort of din.

This old-time sauce seem to be rather
going out of fashion; yet [ think there
lis nothing-canned, dried fruit, Jelly,
jam or preserve-that quite supplies its
splace, especially in the spring when the
appetite calls for something tart. 1t is
also nice to have in the house, because
always ready and can be made to serve
when any unexpected demand is made
upon the housekeeper's culinary stores.
The making is quite tedious and Ia
borious task, though since we have a
furnace stove in our woodshed-a con-
venience that / wish every housekeeper
might be provided with for trying out
lard, making soap etc.--with large
copper kettle to fit the top of it, make
J up a quantity at a time. generally in the
fall, enough to last till the fresh fruits
made in the spring, and in fact the cider
is richer and the apples less juicy and
consequently require less cooking to
bring to the proper consistency than in
|, the fall.
Put twenty gallons of rich, sweet
cider into a large copper kettle, (make
I your kettle very bright before you be-
gin), and boil till reduced to about
four gallons, or till you have q fifth as
much as at first. 1t will then be much
like thin molasses. Pare, core and
quarter sixty pounds of good sour
apples; add them to the thickened
cider and boil till done. 1t will take
. four or five hours to finish up the but
/. ter, after the apples are put in, and it
must be stirred almost constantly or il
will scorch and spoil both kettle and
sauce. Do not try to stir it with stick,
but have stirrer made on purpose;
something in the form of garden rake
without the teeth. You can then take
your position on Il high chair or stool
and keep the boiling mass i'll motion at
your ease.
Apple sauce made with cider is also
nice. For this use sour cider and boil
down not nearly so strong as for apple
butter. but about two parts into one;
then put in dried sweet apples, first
washing and draining them, and cook
an hour or two, or till the apples are
tender, but till they fall to pieces. They
do not need stirring like the apple but
= ter, but must be kept pressed down in
to the cider. DO not have your kettle
full at first, rs the apples swell in heat
ing and would run it over.-Cor. CoHn-
