Tasty Dishes from Cold Joint

To get the best results from a cold Joint. a few points should be re- membered. One is, that since the ment to be used has already been cooked,

it only needs reheating, and not re-cooking.

Frying is an excellent way of do- ing this, provided the meat is pro- lected from direct heat by being encased in batter, potato, &c.

If the meat has to be re-heated in sauce see that the sauce is well cook- ed first, and either mince the meat or chop it finely, so that it will get hot quickly. Remember, too, that a little ham, tongue or cold bacon added to cold mutton or beef makes all the difference to the savour of a dish.
