Do you ever treat your family to oxtall? If not, buy a tall, pre- pare it in one of the following ways. and you will enjoy it.

Drain, roll the pieces in flour, and fry in hot fat with a small onion, thinly sliced.

Remove to a casserole, and pour over the pieces of tall 2 cupfuls of tomato purce, 1 teaspoon salt, teaspoon pepper, 1⁄2 teaspoon sauce, and a small carrot, finely choppedt. Cover and cook in a very moderate oven for 3 hours, adding more water if required. There should be plenty of gravy.

Ten minutes before serving, the sulce should be thickened (it it seems at all thin) by stirring in a dessertspoon cornflour, mixed to a smooth paste with cold water. A cupful of tinned pens can be added if desired.

Here is another way of cooking oxtail:-Dip pieces of tall in sea- soned flour, and fry in a litle butter with an onion sliced. Then add 12 peppercorns, 4 cloves, and pini stock, Stew gently 4 hours. Skim well. Remove the tail from pan, strain the stock, and thicken with 1 oz. of flour, broken down to a smooth paste with cold water. Add 1 table- spoon ketchup, little gravy salt, and 1 teaspoon melted glaze. Boll 6 minutes, return tall to

pan, and allow to become quite hot. Just before dishing add gil cooking sherry. This improves the favour tremendously.
