Nots-This present time Of high price
for fOodstuhs Especially the new ad-
vance on meats should not pass witn-
out leaving US better qualified to cope
with a return to the same conditions. |
We should learn how 70 take our old |
time supply Of food and make It so
farther"
Asparagus and green peas are not, |
Ike dried peas and beans, meat sub |
stitutes. but their flavor is grateful to |
Us: combine either of these in a meal |
with bread or rice and cheese or eggs
Cbutter in small quantity WIN be needed !
and a complete meal is assured.
Rice eroquettes, though easily pre-
pared take some time, and practically /
the same dish is obtained by turning |
the cooked rice into a shallow dish. The
rice when cold may be cut into any de-
sired shape. Egged and crumbed 1t may /
be fried in deep fat. or, dipped in flour, /
Il may be sauted in a small quantity /
Of salt pork or butter In either case
dish though really a green salad OF
some sort is a requisite to make g
meal Of fun satisfaction.
Junket ice cream wiz always be well
coined and win make up, for much OF the
seeming deficiency felt by many while
living upon a meatless diet. Chocolate
sauce is an addition and insures a nu-
fritious dish. n creamed codfish, cream /
soups. with eggs, In custards. with
cereals. macarOni and cheese, the com
binatious are almost liTnitless; truly II IS
no great hardship to 90 without meat,
at least for e season, II we win but ex-
pend for wholesome substitutes a good
~ portion OF the money we have been
spending for the several kinds Of meat
