becomes a meal. Leftover bits may also be utilized for salad, either
alone with cooked or mayonaise salad dressing, or combined with
vegetables such as peas, carrots, cucumbers, etc. The addition of a
small amount of chopped pickle to fish salad improves its flavor, or
a plain or tomato gelatine foundation may be used as a basis for the
salad. The appended lists of fish suitable for the various methods
of cooking, and the variety in the recipes for the uses of fish,
have been arranged to encourage a wider use of this excellent meat
substitute, so largely eaten by European epicures, but too seldom
included in American menus. During the period of the war, the larger
use of fish is a patriotic measure in that it will save the beef,
mutton and pork needed for our armies.
