School Lunch Ideas with Veal

Veal makes a useful meat for school lunch ideas.

Butter a largish bowl, and line it with thin slices of hard boiled eggs; have veal and ham both in very thin slices; place, in the bowl a layer of veal, with salt and pepper, then a layer of ham, omitting the salt, then a layer of veal, and so on, alternating with veal and ham, until the bowl is filled; make a paste of flour and water as stiff as it can be rolled out; cover the contents of the bowl with the paste, and then tie a double cotton cloth; put the bowl into a saucepan, or other vessel, with water just up to the rim of the bowl, and boil three hours cooking time ; then take it from the flame, remove the cloth and paste, and allow it to stand until the following day, when it can be turned out and served in very thin slices. An excellent lunch for school.
