THERE are many ways Of utilizing left
4 overs from meats, poultry, fish, ETC.,
without raising any ones suspicion
to the origin of the principal ingredient. This
Of course, is only possible when the warmed
up taste is absolutely destroyed.
When the meat is boiled there is nothing to
hide, but in case of roasts a slight but dis
agreeable taste persists unless you take the
precauton to put the cold roast in a sieve and
let cold water run on it for three minutes
Here are two classical recipes for making
croQuettes. No. is very simple; No. 2 is a
little more elaborate. Both are good, and
be adapted to any kind of meat, poultry or fish

For one cupful of hash take th1ee-quarters
cup mashed potatoes, one tablespoonful of
chopped onion, one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley, one egg. Fry in two tablespoonful
of fat the onion and parsley. When the onion
is little brown add the hash and stir until
the hash is warm. Then add the egg POTATOES
and season to taste When quite cool shape
small cakes, fry in little fat and serve hot
with tomato sauce.
