one-half in a moderate oven. Add salt and pepper and some sliced carrot,
and cook until the carrot is tender. Remove the chops to a hot platter
and pour over them the gravy which may be thickened, then garnish with
the carrot.
~LAMB CURRY~--Cut the meat into small pieces, (and the inferior
portions, such as the neck can be utilized in a curry), roll in flour
and fry in hot olive oil, pork fat, or butter, until a rich brown. Mince
or slice an onion and fry in the same way. Then put into a saucepan,
cover with boiling water, and simmer until the bones and gristly pieces
will slip out. When the meat is sufficiently tender add a cupful each
strained tomato and rice, then a powder. Cook ten minutes longer and
serve.
~MEAT PIE~--Chop fine, enough of cold roast beef to make two cupfuls,
also one small onion, pare as many potatoes as desired and boil, mash

from seeds, stir meat, onion and tomato juice together, put in a deep
dish, spread potatoes over the top and bake in a hot oven.
~MINCED MUTTON~--Mince the meat from a cold roast of mutton, put into a

bread around the plate.

garnish of fried bread.

~RAGOUT OF COOKED MEAT~--Cut one pint of cold meat into half-inch dice,
