Saddle of Mutton.
A neat way is to nm the knife along
the chine bone and under the meat along
the ribs ; it may then be cut in slices
as shown in the engraving of the saddle of
mutton ; by this process fat and lean are
served together ; your knife should be very
sharp, and it should be done cleverly.

help from the vertebrae on both
sides of the loin, and then carve

Haunch of Venison.—Have the dish placed before you so that the loin is nearest to

cut from A to C, with a slanting
cut, and then let each succeeding
