  One teaspoon of paprika,
  One teaspoon of salt,
  Eight tablespoons of oil,
  Four tablespoons of vinegar.

DEVILED EGG SALAD

Hard boil two eggs and then remove the shells and cut open the length of the egg.  Remove the yolks and then rub through a fine sieve and add

VEAL

Veal is the dressed carcass of the calf.  The flesh should be firm, pinkish white and should be well cooked to develop its flavor and nutritious qualities.  The cuts are the neck, shoulders, rack, breast, loin and leg.  The shoulders, breast and loin are used for roasting, the neck and end of the leg for stewing, the leg for cutlets and the rack for chops.  The knuckle from the leg of veal may be used for stews, soups, stock or pepper pot.

Other products from the calf are heads, brains, hearts, sweetbreads, feet, calves’ liver, tripe, kidney and tongue.  The kidneys are usually left in the loin.

TO COOK

The shoulder may be boned and rolled or left plain or just remove the blade bone and then use a filling.  The breast may have the bones removed and then a pocket made and filled.

To roast the loin trim and tie into shape and then roast.

Meat from the neck, breast and knuckle is frequently used with chicken and, if properly prepared, it is delicious.  Stock made from veal bones is rich in gelatine and may be used for meat loaves, moulds and aspics.

TO PREPARE BREADED CUTLETS

Cut the cutlets into suitable pieces and then roll in flour and dip in beaten egg, and then dip again in fine bread crumbs, patting firmly.  Fry quickly to a golden brown.  Place in a hot oven to finish cooking.  The cutlet may be served with either brown gravy or tomato sauce.
