Meat (Mince beef or mutton small)

Mince beef or mutton, small, with onions, pepper and salt; add a little gravy, put into scallop shells or small cups, making them three parts full, and fill them up with potatoes mashed with a little cream, put a bit of butter on the top and brown them in an oven.

BOILED BEEF (COLD).

Madame E. Pernet.

To use next day or when you like, for breakfast.

Melt a good lump of butter, about two ounces, over a slow fire, into a tablespoonful of flour; when it has simmered a little add some chopped onion (to taste) and a dessert spoonful of chopped parsley when brown season with pepper and add a little stock gravy, or water; mince the meat, put it in with the rest, and let it heat gradually; when nearly boiling thicken with a teaspoonful of flour. Add a little catsup or sauce of any kind.
