Melton-M omlbray Pies

You were my earliest adviser in house
wifery and beg to pay some small
part of my obligation to you by advising
you to withdraw your request for recipes
for Melton Mowbray pie. Melton-Mow-
bray is an English town. in which the
making of pork pies for shipment TO all
places is chief industry. and their in
gradients vary widely as those of
heavenly hash; so be prepared for
collection as endless was oecasioned by
the request for a recipe for that con-
cocton
The only things Indispensable for Mel
ton Mowbray pie are pork In some form,
gravy and pastry. Fresh pork may be
used alone or in any conceivable combina-
ton. Ham and veal may be the founda-
tion with any possible addition-from
iarks and mushrooms to cold boiled eggs.
The seasoning is not very high. and may
be mere salt and pepper or have onions and
herbs added The gravy and paste are as
rich or as poor as your conscience will
allow. These are general directions. but
I hope they may prevent the use of your
scanty allowance of space from being de-
voted to the numberless details which all
come back to the came thing.
