SUBSTITUTES
FOR MEAT.
A Recognized Authority on all
Matters Pertaining 10 House
hold MEASUREMENT.
BY LOretto Q. lynch

HRANY requests have come
H in for suggestions az to
what may be served in
place Of meat that will In some
way resemble meat. TO begin
with, let me, say that one Of the
reasons many people eat meat is
because it is generally speaking
one Of the easiest things to cook.
So, If you are going to prepare
substitutes you must also be pre-
pared to go to quite a bit more
trouble than as IL you were cook
ing just meat.
Potato and nut croquettes
really taste must better than
they sound. To a pint Of cold,
leftover mashed potatoes add a
teaspoonful of finely chopped
a very little onion juice and half
a cup Of finely ground nut meats.
Season as desired.
Shape in a croquette shaper
(purchaseable at any Of the bet
ter housewife stores), chill, dip
into flour, then into beaten egg
and then into bread or cracker
crumbs and fry carefully in deep
fat. Serve piping hot on a folded
napkin on your prettiest dish and
garnish with crisp parsley from
the garden.
Fried potatoes can be made to
look like small veal outlets and
while tomatoes are really not a
substitute for meat they may be
made to appear SO with careful
cooking. Large beefsteak tonaa-
toes cut in slices half an inch
thick are used. The tomato
sliced should be dipped in flour,
egg and crumbs and then dipped
back in the flour, eggs and
crumbs q second time before
being fried In deep fat.
For a luncheon dish half a cup.
full Of grated cheese may be
melted in the top OF a double
boiler and half cup Of milk,
bit OF butter and a little paprikn

cheese, however. must be OF the
better quality such AZ 10 used for
rarebit, else IL will not mix well
with the milk. This mixture may
be served on circles OF toasted
bread for variety.
