One May Have Milk Lamb, Spring
Chickens or Ducks With All
= Accustomed Trimmings. |
| Easter without milk lamb would be like an
egg without salt in the opinion of the epicure
and the marketman, but the early purchaser
| to5morroW need not be deprived of this tidbit
| for the Sunday dinner. However, the house
wife who regards this dainty indispensable
| to. her Easter dinner will need to look sharp
and get her order in early, for the supply Of
| lamb will certainly fall short Of the demand.
AS the price of this choice bit Of meat will
not be less than 81. so for Ia hindquarter and
$1.2o for a forequarter; many will be Obliged
to content themselves with ordinary lamb or
something else less choice and expensive, or
arrange the remainder of the dinner to Offset
| the large outlay on the lamb
| Besides lamb, those looking for particularly
| toothsome meats may have spring chickens
| for broiling or spring ducks, the former at rs
cents pound and the latter 10 cents. Both
| of these in prime condition.
The fish market is rather unsatisfactory,
| and there is very little choice fish, So from
the point of view of the marketman, it is
good thing that Lent is about over and the
demand for fish will be lessened. There are
occasional small shipments OF trout and
whitefsh from, Lake Superior and a few pike
| from Winnipeg, but the bulk Of the fish sold
| is the cold storage article. No change in the
situation in regard to Minnesota fish will be
found during April, for 1t is unlawful to catch
! native food fish to sell them until May.
The supply from the northern lakes will be
plentiful soon, however; trout and Whitefsh
are now 12k cents. OF sea fish there is
salmon, halibut and shad at about the same
prices as last week, roe shad being 81. Hall
but and salmon at from Is to 20 cents are not
| noiv fhnyC sol
Echoice flesh without;sany waste, and a small
quantity of them VIII serve a considerable
number in the numerous variations Of
creamed fish.
I To go with the roast lamb. If ones purse
| will permit, are new peas of good quality at
70 cents quart; or new string, or wax beans
at 10 cents pound; egg plant, 20 cents;
| summer squash, 10 cents; artichokes, 10 cents;
new turnips, SCENTS; spinach, 80 cents a peck;
new California cabbage, cents a pound; new
potatoes, q cents po,fnd; new carrots, beets
and oyster plant, cents bunch. r~S.E
| OF green dollhouse vegetables for salads and
|relishes there is an abundance of good quail
tity. mint, cress, young onions, lettuce, rad
| ishes. etc. California celery is 8 cents
bunch but is neither so tender, delicate or
fne-favored as the northern grown. Endi7e
| at 5 cents for large punches is welcome
addition to the salad vegetables, and the new
cabbage will be used largely for the same
punches still sell for % cents. Cucumbers
| are 20 cents apiece, and tomatoes are scarcer
| than for long time and are selling at 25
cents a pound. ~. %....
| In the line of fruit there is nothing new Of
fered but Strawberries are of better quality
and flavor and have" dropped to 80 cents for
= full quart boxes, and choice pineapples are
1.-The same price. Rhubarb is at it's, best and
b. as this is the time of year when 1t is partlcu-
larly valuable to the diet and very acceptable
| to the palate, several ways OF using 1t are
I given. Ar -.~.t
| Doubtless n many families, especially
! where there are children, the Sunday menus
suggested can be altered with satisfaction by
the substitution of more egg dishes. One, OF
the pretty egg salads will be very appropriate
for either dinner or supper, or some OF the
| numerous egg dishes for the chahng dash
tmay replace the sardines- for supper. 49,
