MEAT HAS PRACTICALLY
rationed itself by being so hard
tc find and 80 we turn our at
tention TO ways and means OF
stretching small amount OF
meat to serve large number OF
people. Here's the first. AMERI-
CAN GOULASH. Cook a half
pound OF macaroni according to
package directions; drain. Brown
enc pound of hamburger and one
large onion fchopped) in fat. Add
the macaroni. three cups OF to-
matoes. one can OF condensed
tomato soup, and season with
sclt, pepper. and cayenne. Pour
into a creased baking dish sprin-
kle with crums and bake twenty
minutes. This amount will serve
six generously. Chopped green
pepper and chopped celery may
be Drowned with the meat and
onion. They add nice flavor.
Small bits Of sharp cheese may
b. added before baking. This Is
grand dish and I'm sure your
family will like It.
KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
PAID slightly more attention TO
things like neck bones. pig feet,
rnd pig tails because sometimes
that's all in the market. Now
there's lot TO be said for the
extremities OF the pig. There's not
r.uch meat and whole lot OF
bone In mess OF neck bones.
but the meat you do get is awful
good. Take NECK BONES and
create this VICTORY SCRAPPLE
Simmer two pounds OF neck
bones until the meat Is tender
enough 10 slip from the bone.
Remove the meat, cook, and grind
II necessary. Measure the water
YOU cooked the meat In and add
enough water to make a quart.
Bring the broth 10 boil. Add
one and one half cups OF corn
meal, slowly. stirring constantly.
Now add n teaspoon Of salt, a
tablespoon OF sage. and the meat.
Pour the mixture into a load
ran and chill until set. Slice,
dip in beaten egg and then In
crumbs. Fry nntil the slices are
crisp and nicely Drowned. Scrap
pie is fine for breakfast and this
Is an unsurpassed method Of
making a little meat 30 a long
way.
THE GENERAL RULE for
cooking pork hooks, shanks. feet.
ears and pig tails Is to season
with salt and pepper. cover with
water, cover the kettle. and cook
below the boiling point until
tender. You want 10 simmer
slowly, do not boil. All fresh pork
needs thorough cooking and you
need the long slow method OF
cooking TO get these items ten
der. Pig feet are usually okay
with most people just as 10 and
there are few things like any
better. However. II you want 10
de- something different with pig
feet, try this: Cover six pig feet
with two quarts OF cold water,
add one onion. one carrot, salt,
three tablespoons OF whole mixed
spices. three stalks OF celery and
simmer gently until tender enough
for bones TO slip out. Drain. cool,
slip out bones and press the
meat into shape with the hands.
Place between two plates. put q
weight on top and let stand over
night. Then you are ready to dip
IN melted fat. crumbs and pan
broIl until the meat IA q golden
brown. Remember that In pan
broiling you do not add fat to the
frying pan.
PIC TAILS ARE GRAND cook
cd with sauer kraut Cook the
desired number In water until
entirely tender. About 20 minutes
before serving time. add the kraui,
ana a slice or two OF onion. Re-
move the kettle lid and let tho
LIQUID evaporate. I hope you are
not letting this subject OF short
ratlons Of meat get you down. AZ
could Be n lot worse you KNOW
And 100. there are people who
never eat meat II IL said that
Hitler never eats meat. not that
YOU want 10 emulate either OF
them but that r. proof that you
can be q vegetarian and get along.
