FAT OF HAM

Excellent Breakfast Dish While rashers of fat bacon, when fried and hot, are usually eaten up at table, this is by no means so often the case when a fat ham is iu question. Fat hams are usually the best, as are the pieces of bacon for boiling which come for this argument, under the same category. Yet it is often found that a considerable chunk of cold fat, denuded of even a streak of meat, presents itself as a problem to the economical housekeeper. It is well to remember that an excellent breakfast dish can bo made by the simple process of cutting tip this sweet and nourishing white fat info smallish cubes, measuring not more than half an inch each waju These are thrown Ou to a frying-pan' already-pip-ing hot, and fried lightly and quickly, just enough to make them brown and crisp without undue hardening. Before this condition is attained, enough liquid fat will have run out for neat rounds of fairly thick bread to be dipped in it and turned until it is thoroughly penetrated. The bread also can be lightly fried. It is then served with the cubes piled on top. A fried or poached egg can be added, but is not necessary. Many children who cannot be got to eat any fat in the ordinary way will readily consume the bread and cubes with a spreading of marmalade on the bread. The result is far better than it sounds, the constituents being precisely those of a suet pudding but with ham fat instead of beef fat.
