Vegetable Dishes

Cabbage is one Of our wholesome
vegetables and if properly cooked, is
usually easily digested. Uncooked
cabbage is more easily digested than
cooked; but if the vegetable is cook
ed in an open kettle allowing the
odors TO pass off with the steam, it
is found to be more easily digested.
Cabbage With Pork.-This is a
homely, old-fashioned dish, but very
appetizing. Place half pound of
salt pork in kettle of boiling water
and cook gently for three hours.
Place the cabbage in the kettle with
the boiling pork and cook until the
cabbage is tender. Serve with vine
gar. Smoked ham or bacon may be
used instead of the pork, if liked.
Celeriac. is a delicious vege-
table priced by our German friends,
and one that should be more often
grown. The roots, not the stalks, are
used. They are about the size Of
turnip. Pare the celeriac, cut in thin
slices and let stand in cold water.
Drain from this water and drop into
boiling water and cook until tender.
Drain and rinse in cold water, then
reheat in a rich white sauce and
serve. Celeriac makes a nice cream
soup, or simply cooked and seasoned
with butter, salt and pepper and used
as vegetable with chicken it is most
appetizing
Force mashed and seasoned potato
through a ricer into a buttered bak-
ing dish, place in the oven to brown.
Gypsy Stew.-Cook together small
carrots, new onions, green peas and
potatoes until tender, then add two
slices of diced salt pork, fried brown
to the drained vegetables, and season
well with salt, pepper and good rich
milk, heated to the boiling point.
