Ham Loaf

14 pound lean ham

14 pound grated cheese

2 tablespoons flour

3 eggs

2 cups milk

Salt and pepper

Cook the ham and chop it fine. Mix the flour with the milk and cook for a few minutes; then add the ham, cheese, the egg-yolks slightly beaten, and the stiffly beaten egg-whites. Season with salt and pepper, pour into a mold, set the mold in a pan of hot water and bake in a slow oven until firm. This may be served with or without a thin white sauce.

ECONOMICAL SAUCE FOR COLD MEAT AND FISH 4 tablespoons salad oil

Mustard

4 tablespoons cream

Salt

3 tablespoons vinegar

Pepper

Mix the salad oil, cream, vinegar, a little mustard, salt and pepper. Beat together quickly, with an egg-beater. The sauce gets white quickly and looks like whipped cream. Soon it becomes as thick as the best-made mayonnaise. Moreover, eggs are not required, the sauce will not curdle, and can be made quickly.
