That query is sometimes a wall
for help, or at least for helpful
suggestions on the part Of the
housewife who has to plan meals for
her family, day after day, season
after season.
"Where shall I begin to plan?"
she asks, dolefully, as salads, pies,
spinach and steWS get themselves
strangely jurnbled in her mind.
There is one simple and efficient
rule for menu-plannnings, and that
is to choose first your meat course.
In the light of the newer knowl-
edge of food requirements, the
need of a balanced diet becomes
more and more clear. Protein, car
bohydrateS Cor sugars and starcheS),
fats, minerals and vitamins must
be supplied, and meat provides
nearly all of these in valuable form.
Lean beef, for instance, leads all
foods in iron content, and iron IS
essential in the diet if food is to be
readily assimilated.

Less Tender Cuts Provide

The location Of a country on the
continent determines many Of its
physical characteristics, and so it
Is with the beef map. Some cuts
contain more bone than others. some
cuts are more tender than others
these factors can be determined
quite accurately by the location of
the different cuts.
Take for instance that matter Of
tendernessl The sections which
have a more highly developed con-
nective tissue, and therefore need
to be cooked differently than cuts
from sections which have had lit
tie exercise. See, it is all a matter
OF geography
Tender Sections
The sections which have received
little exercise the more tender cuts,
are the ones along the back bone;
the loin end. from which comes the
sirloin steaks; the short ioin, from
which comes the pOrterhouse and
club or Delmonico steaks, and the
rib. from which are cut the stand
ing rib roaStS and the rib steaks.
These cuts may all be cooked by
dry heat: that is. by roasting,
broiling or panbrOiling.
These tender sections. while they
are the most demanded. are by no
means the only ones which make
attractive dishes, so let us take
glance at the other sections on the
map.
Less Tender Sections
These sections, even though called
less-tender, can really be made
tender If they are cooked properly
However. they need to be cooked
slowly for a long time with moist
heat in order that the connective
tissue is softened
They should be simmered, but
never boiled, as this completely dis

ever popular ways TO use these less
