COLD MEAT
HINTS
BY Hannah Wing

UE suggest the frequent use
w of cold meats-not because
it's easy to slice little beef and
ham and cold roast lamb and send
it to the table along with some
potato salad and horseradish, but
because when it is done well, and
on an appropriate occasion and
with the incest of condiments and
garnishes, the cold meat platter
is one of the most attractive and
appetiZing services there is. The
new method Of marketing a small
whole ham or whole chicken,
cooked in the can in it's own nat
ural juices. makes cold meat read
lily available at all times.
Cold meat has no right feeling

warm days at luncheon or for the
buffet supper or home supper

meat, with the exception of
chicken, should be sliced very thin.
Nothing is worse than thick slice
of roast beef or a wedge of ham.
With care and a very sharp knife
it is possible to achieve thin and
delicate slices.
With cold meats, highly season
ed condiments are indicated.
Spiced fruits make a perfect ac-
