What is "cannelon?" A roll Of
baked meat, usually beef.
In meat what is called the "bolar
piece?" The fleshy part of the shoul-
der. 1t is not quite so good as the un-
der round for frying, but is more nu.
tritive, and serves as well for stew.

Is dry or moist heat better for
meat? The dry heat is better for the

draws out the flavor. Bat cheaper

however, toughens them. Do not
over-season.

tavern In London where the old wits

friends-met to eat beefsteak pie and
drink porter. The approach to the tav-

And the tavern continues to this day,
in nothing changed. For your con.

trash and his treasure.
