NUTRITIOUS

Cook

In a Casserole Dish, put 4 or 5 Pork

Sausages & slices of Calves Liver.

After few minutes add green peas &

few tomatoes, & onions salt, pepper

etc. (Gn Peas & Carrots)

When all nicely cooked break a

large hens egg over the top so that

it should form an egg-crust over

the top of the mixture. Cook little

bit more.

Note: substitute Ox Tail meat for

the pork sausages if you wish.

Baked or Casseroled Rabbit; &

Date Pudding with Ginger & Raisins.

-See Brown BK=

Mix boiled Carrots & boiled

green peas together for fine

flavour.

Never fry fish in dripping,

always use peanut oil or

salad oil.}

or Margarine} (Dripping de-flavours fish)

Hams.  

Buy whole ham ∧smoked but before cooking,

cut it in half & boil only one

half of it.  The other half is much

nicer just in its smoked condition.

Then fried with eggs & used in

pea soup etc.  The smoked ½

will not go bad even if not kept

in Refrig- just hang it in the

air.  This ½ can also be eaten

unboiled if preferred, or casseroled.

Good Salad made with Herrings

in T.Sauce, Tomatoes, Beetroot etc

[[Godo?]] Curry ∧Prawns & Crab made of Tinned

Salmon & Rice (or Beans i/o Rice)

& finely chopped ∨unsweetened Gherkins & Onions (pickled)

From Drs:-

Until you get your strength back keep

a supply of roasted peanuts (oil cooked)

on hand, in which little fried onions (fried

separately) are mixed & salt.

Excellent:- Casseroled cabbage & Tomatoes,

These contain many Vitamins. Drink,

or use the liquid in soups.

[[Tumul putch?]] for Liver trouble

when cooked (thoroughly) Remove

whole rind very carefully, then

pierce with long pronged silver fork

make many holes (longish) pour

Experiment with follwg:-

Boil well some White Beans.  Then

make a Curry Sauce, using Butter

& milk (with ground Chillies fried

in Oil) etc; so that you get a

rich hot sauce.  Then boil?

lightly some chicken, beef, & liver

& then fry√ this meat mixture.

Serve the Curry Sauce hot over

the hot meat & casserole the

beans, first pouring some of

the curry sauce through them

in Casserole Dish.  With the

If made properly this makes

delicious meal.

with casseroled Lentils etc)

Jam Roll with ∧Raisins & plenty Lemon & M∧or Fig or Strawberry Jam & Cream

Rhubarb Tart

Herring Pie with Tom. Sce from the Tin.

Get blood sausages, black puddings, Kidneys

etc from Pork Butcher.  Fry the sausages

for trial.

Prawn & Crab are best*→ NASI GORENG [[?]]Soak the rice.

Simple & delicious

First make your Sambal of Chillies,

Onions & Oil →(Lard, Butter or Pnut Oil) as usual.

While doing this the Rice can be

xx boiling.  It is important to have

it dry, cooked ∧& steamed.

Also prepare small pieces of ∧cooked ham,

liver & chicken, & boiled vegs, [[sasgs?]]

celery, cabbage chopped fine.

Add salt.  Then mix all together

& fry together (sambal & all) in

hot pan with oil. Leave Cucumber

in Vinegar separately.

Add strips of cooked eggs to top

the rice. ∧with fried onions  Make plenty of sambal

at beginning.  Nasi G. should be

red in colour when served.

*-SEE ALSO BROWN NoteBK-

Drs advice:- On a/c my bad lack of

Vit A

causing bladder & kidney trouble

Get a Good lump of xxxGammon Bacon &

casserole * (or boil) * it together with

Peas or Brown Beans.  Serve hot with

mustard (&pickles).  Cook the bacon

in one piece; ||add steamed Cabbage.|||

Also, get good blood sausage & fry

apple (also pineapple i/o apple for

change).

Salad of raw cabbage cut fine ∧cold green peas

lettuce, tomatoes, & beetroot ∧or carrots with

a good oil (peanut or salad oil)

& eggs & OX-Tongue, fat beef.

(The day the Drs told me this I was so

weak they ordered me to get any

left over food in Camp after [[?]]

served.) *Re Bacon see next page

Re Bacon, it should only be finished

off boiling together with the Beans or

Peas, i.e. it shd be almost properly

done separately before otherwise too

much Bacon fat gets into the Vegs.

Note: This Dish is not supposed to

be like Pea Soup when done, but

vegs flavoured by BACON meat.

Gammon(lean) can be cooked all together

with the Vegs.

Sambal

A delicious Sambal can be made

of finely chopped Cucumber, Chillies,

raw Onions & Macassar ∧or Anchovies Red Fish.

Use little oil if necssy.

(If no M.R.F. substitute dried fish

soaked in Chillie Sauce. Anchovie Sauce)

Pineapple well rubbed with raw

Chillies tastes like Strawberries,

- Add little cream or sugar
