Tips on Carving

Finding the joints without hack
ing up the bird is the hallmark Of
a skillful poultry carver. He can
stand or sit to his task, whichever
is more comfortable. Poultry spe-
cialists of the U. 9. department of
agriculture offer these tips:
Have the platter set on the ia
BILE with the legs of the roast tur-
key or chicken pointing either
straight toward you or toward
your carving hand. A wedge of
bread or apple under each side of
the bird will steady it for carving.
Make a clean cut between the
body and the leg and give a slight
twist on the end of the drumstick.
If the bird is cooked just right,
the leg will then separate easily
from the body SO you can see the
joint and cut through it to the
outside. The leg of a duck or
goose is more difficult to disjoint
than the leg of a chicken, turkey
or guinea. A good carver leaves
intact the tidbit near the backbone
called the Oyster" Separate the
drumstick and upper joint, and
slice the leg meat of a large bird.
Start the wing cut at a spot
above the point where the wing
seems to join the body. Cut at an
angle of about As degrees to hit
the joint. The wing is sometimes
not entirely separated from the
carcass but dropped down so as
to leave the breast free for Sic
ing.
Slice the breast meat of tur-
keys, chickens and guineas paral-
lei to the outside surface, along
the grain of the meat. Cut the
breast meat of ducks and geese
across the grain of the meat at
right angles to the ridge bone.

knife under the flesh to loosen it.
