Stuffed Marrow
It is not possible to give exact proportion for this excellent diab, as they depend entirely on the size of your marrow, amount and variety of "left-over" material at your disposal, etc./
First of all, you must peel your marrow, cut a small piece off the top and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a tablespoon. *
Now for the stuffing: put any left-over cooked meat through the min- cer with some odd crusts of bread and any bits of kidney bacon, sausage, or mushroom left over from breakfast. Add pepper and salt, chopped onion, fat pinch of curry powder (if liked), and a tablespoonful of tomato ketchup. Mix your ingredients well together with littlo gravy, or milk If no gravy is available..
Fill and Fix
Fill the marrow with the stuffing and fix on the top with skewers and string. Heat some dripping in a baking tin, put in your marrow and, bake 11 tender (about an hour) in a medium oven, basing frequenly. Serve with a good gravy made from the dripping, a little four and seasoning, a pinch of curry powder or a few drops of tomato ketchup, and stock or water
