the bones and most of the gravy, leaving only sufficient to cover the pot half an inch above the rim that rests on the stove; put in the crust, cover tight, and boil steadily forty-five minutes. To prepare the crust, work into light dough a small bit of butter, roll it out thin, cut it in small, square cakes, and lay them on the moulding-board until very light. No steam should possibly escape while the crust is cooking, and by no means allow the pot to cease boiling.


ROAST SPARERIB.

Trim off the rough ends neatly, crack the ribs across the middle, rub with salt and sprinkle with pepper, fold over, stuff with turkey [Pg 147]dressing, sew up tightly, place in a dripping-pan with a pint of water, baste frequently, turning over once so as to bake both sides equally until a rich brown.


PORK TENDERLOINS.

The tenderloins are unlike any other part of the pork in flavor. They may be either fried or broiled; the latter being drier, require to be well-buttered before serving, which should be done on a hot platter before the butter becomes oily. Fry them in a little lard, turning them to have them cooked through; when done, remove, and keep hot while making a gravy by dredging a little flour into the hot fat; if not enough add a little butter or lard, stir until browned, and add a little milk or cream, stir briskly, and pour over the dish. A little Worcestershire sauce may be added to the gravy if desired.


PORK CUTLETS.

Cut them from the leg, and remove the skin; trim them and beat them, and sprinkle on salt and pepper.

Excellent Forgotten Wisdom, Skills, & Recipes

Great Reference

I was super excited to come across this. It has a wealth of information in it. It covers fine dining, household recipes, cleaning recipes, carving !eats, seasonal meats, and much more. Although it's for 1887, I feel that some of this can apply today.

I love the old world look at the culinary arts. A time when the kitchen was the heart of the house and the life blood of the family. Beyond classic recipes of the Americana, this book also contains lost health remedies, etiquette and menus for heads of state. It is a look into the past that reminds

This is a wonderful read, especially the recipe for squirrel soup. You must strain the soup before eating in order to avoid the "troublesome little bones." The desserts are wonderful.
