PAGE FIVE Heres Timely Hints for Picnic Dinner on Fourth bologna, Uverwurst. or another sum mer sausage, siloed for sandwich fill ing and supplemented with lettuce or tomato, thinly sliced cucumber, onion, raw carrot, or raw turnip. Oreen things are Important to re member whatever the kind of picnic, whether a clam bake, a beach din, ner, a fish fry, steak fry, corn roast, or barbecue. The steak fry does not necessarily call for whole steak. In somepart of the country, hamburg cakes are preferred. Then there Is another pic nic morsel, not everywhere familiar, called the habob. A long skewer, run through a series of one-Inch cubes or slices first of meat, then onion, then again meat, onion, as long as there is room on the skewer. All this Is roasted over the fire, to be taken hot off the skewer In a folded slice of bread, or a roll. For many people most of the fun of a picnic comes In getting the din ner ready after they reach the picnic grounds. In that case they may pre fer to carry the makings of saiad sep arately, and mix them Just before serving. Sometimes this is best for sandwiches, too. Cold meat cured pork shoulder, ham. a roast of any klud, corned beef, dried beef any of theae la easy to carry, as ts also a meat loaf, either whole or siloed, canned salmon, sar dines, or salt fish. So are lettuce (washed and crisped at home), hard cooked eggs, deviled eggs, tomatoes, or cucumbers, whole (to be pared and cut in sticks), fruit (fresh or canned), and a Jar of salad dressing. A Jar of pickled beets goes well with the picnic dinner, as do, of course, also, such old standbys as potato sal ad and cold slaw. The Fourth of July picnic this year should have its watermelon for many picnickers, and some fortunate ones will doubtless be able to gather for themselves luscious dewberries or wild blackberries. Pineapples have been relatively cheap this year, and here is a suggestion about pineapple at a picnic: After washing It careful ly, cut the pineapple open lengthwise in pieces like an orange section, then cut the sections into shorter pieces '.Ike thick cuts of pie. Eat them !n your tinners, from the Inside as far as you like toward the rough out side. Dip the pieces In sugar as you eat if the fruit needs sweetening. The family that likes picnic meals can have an Impromptu picnic almost any day without much trouble, if in corner a picnic basket Is kept ready, with a skillet and a coffee pot or for that matter any small pall for making coffee), paper plates, paper sauce dishes, paper napkini. and some tin cups or inexpensive table cups for coffee. Left-overs be used for sandwiches or salad, or the corner store will furnish ready-to-use food, including sandwich spreads, salad dressings. Ice cream and the cones in which to serve it, if desired. The pa per plates and napkins, thrown away afterward, mean little to carry and less work to do after the picnic Is over. This, moreover, Is one way to vary any diet, for change of the scene gives a different flavor to the same foods, if It does not also change the choice of foods. Supper (picnic) Cold Sliced Corn Beef or Meat Loaf Sandwiches (lettuce, and soft rolls or bread and butter) Potato Salad with onion and diced cucumber for crlspness and seasoning Freeh pineapple or bananas or berries Cookies or Cup Cakes Coffee (adults Milk (children) RECIPRS Beef Loaf 2 pounds lean beef 1 cup diced salt pork (about ',i lb.) 4 tablespoons flour I'i cups milk 1 cup chopped parsley U cup chopped onion 1 cup fine, dry bread crumbs 3 teaspoons salt i teaspoon pepper Put the meat through a grinder. Fry the diced salt pork until llgnt brown and crisp and remove tlie pieces from the pan. Make a sauce of the flour, milk, and 3 tablespoons of the pork drippings. Cook the pars ley and onion for a few minutes in the rest of the pork drippings, and add this to the bread crumbs and sea sonings. Combine all the ingredients and use the hands to mix thorough ly. The mixture will have a. sticky consistency. Lay a piece of parch ment paper on a rack In an open roasting pan. Mold the meat loaf on the paper with the hands. Bake the loaf in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 1!4 hours. Do not cover the pan and do not add water. Much bet ter results are obtained by making the meat loaf this way than by pack ing it Into a deep pan and ba-klng It like a loaf of bread. Remove the meat loaf from the paper and serve hot, or chill it and serve in thin slices. By The Bureau of Home Economics, U. a. Department of Agriculture The Fourth of July brings picnics. And picnics, fortunately, are a form of recreation which can coat as little as staying at home, and possibly leas. If the day is not too warm, bacon or frankfurters, cooxed on the end of forked green sticks, or hamburg cakes cooked over the fireplace grill, then laid In an open roll; then a ripe to mato, siloes of onion, or strips of raw cucumber or carrot; coffee, milk, a banana or some berries or cookies a menu like that Is probably as cheap a meal as would be served at home, and because it is eaten out fo doors It usually tastes much better. Obviously, the main consideration In planning a picnic dinner, as dis tinguished from any other dinner, is to provide food that can be c&rrled successfully, served conveniently, and eaten easily and with the fewest and simplest utensils. That usually means sandwiches, of course, and it should mean plenty of green things also for good balance. Picnic dinners often have too much starch and protein, and not enough green vegetables. Any sandwich of meat, cheese, or fish Is Improved by adding a little cucumber, onion, pick le, or lettuce frizzled chipped beef and lettuce, for example; bacon, to mato, and lettuce; ham, corned beef.
