CHINA-CHILO
Select two pounds of the scrag end of young mutton. Cut the meat into small pieces, discarding all superfluous fat. Place in a casserole, after browning over in a little hot dripping, and add one cupful of dried flageolets (which are green-colored French beans), one pint of boiling water, two onions cut in slices, salt, celery salt and pepper to taste, and one small head of lettuce, torn in fine shreds. Cover the casserole and simmer for about three hours. A little more water may be required, but there should only be a small quantity of broth or gravy when it is properly cooked. Uncover for the last twenty minutes of cooking and serve in the casserole. -
Cream Potatoes
Bake the potatoes in a slow oven. When perfectly cold slice rather thin. Put into a pan, sprinkle on a little flour and toss the potatoes about with your hand until some flour adheres to each piece. Cover these floured potatoes with small bits of butter. If the butter is put in in one piece the potatoes get broken before the butter reaches them all.Sprinkle in a little salt and put in enough cream so that they are about half covered. If you use more cream they will cook too tender and be mushy before the cream is cooked down. Stand by them. Stir with a knife blade lifting them from the bottom but not turning them over.
When they begin to glisten lift them to a hot serving dish and put them where they will keep warm but will not cook any further.
If you have not cream add a little more butter but the cream is better than the butter.
