Make a dough of cornmeal and wheat flour and water.  Roll it out in thin, round cakes; cook quickly in a pan that has not been greased, then roll in a cloth to keep soft and warm.  Grind one cup of sausage, add one-half grated onion, one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and fill the warm cakes with this mixture.  Roll them when filled, and pour over them a sauce made of two tablespoons of drippings into which two tablespoons of flour have been smoothed.  Add one cup of soup stock, one cup of strained tomatoes, two tablespoons of vinegar, one tablespoon of Spanish pepper sauce.

VIENNA SAUSAGE

Wash and put on in boiling water.  Boil ten minutes, fill a deep dish with hot water, put sausages in, cover, and serve in hot water.  To be eaten with grated horseradish or French mustard.

SMOKED BEEF

Soak overnight in cold water; next morning place it in cold water, and simmer till quite tender, reckoning one-half hour to the pound.

ROAST VEAL

The shoulder and breast of veal are best for roasting.  Always buy veal that is fat and white.  Prepare for the oven in the following manner:  Wash and then dry; rub it well with salt, a very little ground ginger, and dredge it well with flour.  Lay in roasting-pan and put slices of onion on top with a few tablespoons of goose-fat or drippings.  Cover tightly and roast, allowing twenty minutes to the pound and baste frequently.  Veal must be well done.  When cold it slices up as nicely as turkey.

BREAST OF VEAL—­ROASTED

Roast as directed above.  Have the butcher cut a pocket to receive the stuffing.  Prepare bread stuffing and sew up the pocket.  Sprinkle a little caraway seed on top of the roast.  A tablespoon of lemon juice adds to the flavor.  Baste often.

STEWED VEAL

Prepare as above, but do not have the meat cut in small pieces.  If desired one-half teaspoon of caraway seed may be used instead of the parsley.  Mashed potatoes and green peas or stewed tomatoes are usually served with veal.

Any of the flour or potato dumplings are excellent served with stewed or fricasseed veal.

FRICASSEED VEAL WITH CAULIFLOWER

Use the breast or shoulder for this purpose, the former being preferable, and cut it up into pieces, not too small.  Sprinkle each piece slightly with fine salt and ginger.  Heat a tablespoon of goose-oil or poultry drippings in a stew-pan, and lay the veal in it.  Cut up an onion and one or two tomatoes (a tablespoon of canned tomatoes will do), and add to this a little water, and stew two hours, closely covered.  When done mix a teaspoon of flour and a little water and add to the veal.  Chop up a few sprigs of parsley, add it and boil up once and serve.  Place the cauliflower around the platter in which you serve the veal.  Boil the cauliflower in salt and water, closely covered.
