housekeeper is marketing for fish,
flesh. fowl or good red herring she
must know how to select as well as
the best methods of preparing and
cooking it If she is to have the true
flavor and natural juices of the meat
retained. With poultry and game this
is most essential.
Look we'll to a tender breast bone
and skin urder the wings. The flesh
should be of good color, not pale,
blush white. and the bones well filled
and rounded with meat.
In preparing poultry or game for
cooking. il should never be allowed to
stand in water for one moment. II
may be held under the faucet and
water be allowed TO run over and
through it. With wild game such as
rabbit a small vegetable brush is used
with a good sprinkling Of baking soda.
This removes the strong flavor.
All poultry and game for roasting
should be dredged with flour when
ready for the oven, TO dry it perfectly,
otherwise it does not brown as well.
With the exception of ducks and geese
all poultry and game requires a plen-
tiful addition Of fat during roasting as
the flesh is dry.
