e the bone clean and wrap in paper or dough to prevent the bone
from becoming charred. Proceed as in cooking beefsteak.
VEAL CUTLETS
_2 cutlets, 275 (about) calories_
Dip cutlets first in egg (mix one yolk with 1 tablespoonful of water)
then in bread crumbs; pan broil (grease the frying pan slightly), or
broil under the flame as directed in cooking beefsteak. Veal cutlets
may be served plain, or with tomato sauce.
Cutlets or chops may be cooked in paper bags if desired. Wrap the chop
in a thin slice of bacon, grease the paper (a piece of heavy brown
paper), place the chop inside and secure the ends with paper clips or
pins; place in a pan and cook in the oven, or under the flame. It is
wise to slip the bag containing the chop inside of another bag; in
this way the meat will not taste of scorched paper if the outer bag
should burn.
BACON (1 SLICE)
_194 calories_
Place bacon on a rack and place rack in a dripping pan, set in oven
and bake until crisp and brown. Or, arrange bacon on broiler, place
pan beneath to catch the drippings and prevent the fat from catching
afire, broil as beefsteak.

When steak or chops are served, parsley or sliced lemon may be used as
garnishes. Chops may be served garnished with green peas, and the
beefsteak served with potatoes cooked in any way; all meats should be
served very hot. It is best to cover with a plate.
FISH
Split down the back, and broil as beefsteak. Fish does not require
more than from 10 to 15 minutes to broil unless very large. Serve with
teaspoonful of parsley and butter.
