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.
