Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. A half cup of canned salmon

Method

  1. A half cup of canned salmon, a left-over from lunch the preceding day, may be added to double the quantity of cream dressing, and when heated through and served on crisply-toasted slices of stale bread, make a tasty addition to any meal.
  2. Of course, it is not necessary to tell even unexperienced housewives never under any circumstances allow food to stand in tins in which it was canned;
  3. do not ever stand food away in tin;
  4. use small agateware dishes, in which food, such as small quantities of left-overs, etc, may be reheated.
  5. Never use for cooking agate stew-pans, from the inside of which small parties have been chipped, as food cooked in such a vessel might become mixed with small particles of glazing, and such food when eaten would injure the stomach.
