NJ longer possible to get slices, there
are still several methods by which it
can be prepared most appetizingly.

pound of cold roast veal; remove all
fat. etc, and chop 1t into small pieces.
Grease plain mold and put into It al
ternate layers of chopped veal, hard
boiled eggs, and boiled ham in slices,
with chopped parsley and salt and
pepper between each layer, until the
mold is nearly full. Next, take some
