provincial city of Detroit, Uut extended
all over the United States, he has neve,
found meat with flavor so fine, and that
it is unsurpassed, except in .egard to size,
in all other good qualities.
In fact, in point of latness, tenderness,
luicinesS and flavor there is no better
beet than that now found on our mar
ket. 1t has improved in ali respects
within the last few years. Aconnoisseur
might recognize at this season genuin,
game flavor impaired by the wild habits
and free range through the mountain
pastures on which the cattle have thriven
and fattened. Much depends upon the
cut and upon the cooking, and also upon
keeping the meat long enough after the
killing to ripen properly. Meat a week
old is a very different thing from that
served up the day after slaughter.
