Ingredients
- one tablespoonful pearl tapioca
- one-half cupful of cream just before serving
Directions
This may be given to a convalescent for a change, but is neither as digestible or nourishing as beef. It is much improved by cooking in it one tablespoonful Pearl tapioca for each pint of broth and adding one-half cupful of cream just before serving.
BROILED CHOPS,
A steak or chop for an invalid should be broiled over a fire of charcoal, if practicable, as that leaves no flavor of smoke or gas on the meat ; where that is not possible the meat should be folded in a sheet of well-buttered, glossy writing paper and the edges folded together like the edges of a turnover. Lift from the fire often lest the paper burn, and allow a few minutes longer than when directly over the coals. When done, cut a slit in the folded side of paper, and slide the meat and gravy together unto a hot plate.
