Picnic Recipes

OLD lamb chops explain themselves. The only note necessary is that any fat left on should be well-browned and the chops grilled and dished up quite dry. Cold sausages the same applies to. Little mutton turnovers are made from rounds of flaky pastry, folded over, with a little minced mutton cooked with chopped onion, and well Seasoned with salt and pepper. Fried chicken (and.if it is not a chicken but an old hen it will probably have more taste and flavour, but will require steaming first).--Divide into joints, dip in flour mixed with salt and pepper, and fry in hot fat until nicely browned. Allow to drain well. ._ Egg Croquettes-Use three hardcooked eggs and 1 eupful of cooked macaroni, both chopped fine. Mix well with 1 cupful of thick white sauce, pepper, salt, and a dash of curry powder. Allow to cool, then shape, dip in egg and breadcrumbs, and fry in deep hot fat. These are excellent eaten cold. Cheese Rissoles-Mix loz. of cornflour with a gill of milk, put in a saucepan and stir over low heat. Simmer for a few minutes and remove. Add 30z. of grated cheese, 2 egg yolks and i dessertspoon butter. Season with salt, pepper and a little made mustard and spread mixture on plate to cool. Form into balls, using a little flour, egg and breadcrumbs, and fry in hot fat until golden brown. Banana Jellies-Bananas sliced in small glasses or cups or cartons with a little lemon jelly poured over travel well and are usually appreciated and are thirst-quenching. Sandwich filings may be tongue and horseradish, made by mixing 1 cup of minced tongue, 2 tablespoonfuls of bottled or grated horseradish, 2 tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, together with enough mayonnaise dressing to bring it te the right consistency to spread. Minced ham and tomato calls for 2 cups of finely chopped ham, ¢ cup of sour pickles, 2 tablespoonfuls of prepared mustard, and ‘enough | salad dressing to moisten well. A slice of lettuce improves this. Cream Cheese and Ginger Sandwich Filling-Mash 31b. cream cheese with a fork, add salt, pepper, and 4% cup finely chopped crystallised ginger and enough water to moisten. This is a delicious semi-sweet filling. Peanut butter, chopped nuts and celery, dates or’ raisins, sprinkled with lemon juice, separately or together, all make changes.
