A Simple Meal

There is form in home cooking, and we must recognize it. For a plain meal, four dishes and a soup, perhaps as contemptible as the familiar meat-and-two-veg of Britain, but there it is. In this modest frame, no one dish outshines the others by much, though they are all different. The economical housewife shows her guile by making the third and fourth dish from most inexpensive ingredients. Meat appears only once or twice, the rest of the dishes are made up from bits and pieces. It is a very cheap way of feeding a large household.
