Veal Broth

Ingredients

• one tablespoonful pearl tapioca
• one-half cupful of cream just before serving

Directions

1. This may be given to a convalescent for a change, but is neither as digestible or nourishing as beef. It is much improved by cooking in it one tablespoonful Pearl tapioca for each pint of broth and adding one-half cupful of cream just before serving.

2. BROILED CHOPS,

3. A steak or chop for an invalid should be broiled over a fire of charcoal, if practicable, as that leaves no flavor of smoke or gas on the meat ; where that is not possible the meat should be folded in a sheet of well-buttered, glossy writing paper and the edges folded together like the edges of a turnover. Lift from the fire often lest the paper burn, and allow a few minutes longer than when directly over the coals. When done, cut a slit in the folded side of paper, and slide the meat and gravy together unto a hot plate.
