Fried Cucumbers

Pare the cucumbers, cut them in slices about a quarter of an inch thick, season with salt and pepper. Dip first in egg, then in bread crumbs. Put two tablespoonfuls of lard or dripping in a frying pan with salt. Put in a few slices of cucumber, fry brown and crisp on one side, then turn and fry brown on the other. Lift carefully, drain on brown paper, serve very hot with tomato catsup.
