Tinned Meats, Australian.— The fol- lowing original recipes (one hundred in num- ber) are the result of several years' experience in the use of Austrahan meats. Against these considerable prejudice exists, owing, to a great extent, to the fact that few know how to cook them projierly. If the recipes here given, how- ever, are followed, it -N^all be found easy, even for a cook of moderate abilities, to prepare from Australian meats a succession of tasty as well as digestible and nourishing dishes. On p. 977 the names of the various recipes will be found in alphabetical order, so that any particular one may be referred to with ease. 1. Soup with Forcemeat Balls.
