Veal is the meat of a young calf killed when 6 or 8 weeks old. All immature meat is less nutritious and more difficult of digestion than mature meat. No matter how veal is prepared it should he thoroughly cooked to make it palatable and digestible.
MATERIALS:
1 Thin Piece of Veal (2x3 Inches). 3 Tablespoons Bread Crumbs. 1/2 Teaspoon Butter or Veal Fat. Few Drops Onion Juice. Few Grains Celery Salt. 1/8 Teaspoon of Salt. Few Grains of Pepper.
SAUCE:
4 Tablespoons Milk. 1 Teaspoon Flour. 1 Teaspoon Water.

The above recipe is a good way of preparing veal cut from the fleshy part of the round or shoulder. When the stuffing is delicately seasoned and the birds cooked until tender they taste very much like stuffed birds. Meat goes a great deal farther when prepared in this way. and therefore offers an economical way of preparing veal. Veal should always be thoroughly cooked.
