Lent is here. Two days a week
may well be given up 10 meat
less diet. Or, If not entirely elimi-
mated, meat may be eaten in smaller
quantity by combining It with various
starchy foods.
For instance, the Italian method Of
serving spaghetti with a good tomato
sauce containing a little meat, plus
vegetable soup and a green salad,
furnishes a sufficient, satisfying din
ner.
The pilafs so much used by oriental
people, containing rice and a small
amount Of meat, meat dumplings,
good stew with a little meat and many
vegetables, the Chinese chow mein
and the Mexican chill con carne or
tamales ara other examples Of good
food with a minimum meat allowance.
Hard boiled. either plain or with
yolks removed. combined with season
ings and replaced in the whites in a
cream sauce, eggs are good.
Omelets may be served with mush-
rooms, spinach. onions or PURGE Of
tomatoes, highly seasoned.
Combined with cheese and milk,
seasoned with salt. pepper and onion,
eggs may be baked as a custard.
When turned from cup or dish serve
with cream sauce, plain or com
bined with cooked vegetables.
In short, with good eggs IN the
house, the possibilities for a good
meal to be enjoyed are almost endless.
