PAINTING MEATS.
Artists who Decorate Cooked Joints Par
isian Idea.

Ibid you ever eat painted meat?" asked
Edward Sales. a Partisan, of a Globe
Democrat man. Yes. there is such a
thing. Your American cooks are artists
In their line, but do not know all the
tricks OF the trade. The idea Is not
very old one. but all the most important
restaurants in Paris now employ an ar
list whose sole occupation is 10 paint
beefsteaks, chops and joints. A meat
artist just now is an important individual
In the culinary department.
Let me explain il TO you. There was
party Of diners at one Of the big cafes.
and they insisted upon having a leg OF
mutton roasted on a spit. The caterer
already had fresh leg OF mutton roasted
in the pan. This he wanted 10 dispose Of.
and called on his meat artist TO make 1t
look as though II were roasted on a spit.
First the chief transfixed it with
spit. which he Immediately withdrew, and
passed IL to the painter. The artist had
before him a dozen pots and bowls OF
different sizes. Each had it's own par
ticular brush. and Its own peculiar name
Beside these lay a number of other brush
es OF various sizes. shapes, kinds and de-
grees Of stiffness.
The artist studied the leg OF mutton
for q minute. much as one would study
a landscape he was about TO copy. Then.
passing his hand across his brow, 10 aid
his thinking, probably he thrust his
brush into a bowl OF paint called rissole,
and painted over the deep-brown parts
OF the mutton that had just come from
the oven.
The next thing he did was to take a
cloth and sprinkle over the mutton a
powder OF carbonized meat. This is cal
culated to make the morsel crackle under
the teeth, and lends a crisp. brittle sur
face to the flesh.
Then he applied a mixture called ma
tural blood. With this ne initiated the
pricks from which the juice is supposed
to have escaped in abundance. Then the
leg was passed to the sculllon. who
poured a few spoonfrls of corsomme in
the dish. and added n little beef Juice.
Then taking a small syringe he pierced
three holes In the meat. Next he varie-
gated the whole with a quantity OF boil
Ing grease. With these finishing touches
NJ. Garcon placed II before the diners,
and with a flourish announced that II
had Just come from the spit The guests
ate Ii with a relish, and do not know the
difference yet. Oh. 1t Is perfectly HARM
less. but you never know what you eat,
you know."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
