The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living

January 13th : LEG OF MUTTON CUTLETS

In winter, a small family may insure a variety of fare by having a leg of mutton divided in half ; hang the knuckle, and cut the thick end into slices of about three-quarters of an inch in thickness, sawing the bone in the centre, but leaving the section in the meat.

These slices are to be dressed in the pan ; two tea-cupfuls of water, and one of Harvey's, Reading, Lopresti's, or any favourite sauce, with a small portion of Cayenne and salt, and two drops of garlic vinegar.

This is not, I confess, a very economical dish, but a change is often desirable.
