BY 
THOMAS F. DE YOE, 
AUTHOU OF "THE MARKET BOOK," ETC. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The object of this volume is to present that which may 
be found practically useful as well as interesting. It aims 
at bringing together, in as small compass as possible, 
and in a form easy of reference, those items of informa- 
tion which many would desire to possess when called 
upon to cater for the household. In order fully to carry 
"■lit the practical views here indicated, the work is di- 
vided into several headings; all of which, however, har- 
monize into one connecting form, " Wha& we Eat" Do- 
mestic, or Tame Animals; Wild Animals, or Animal 
Game; Poultry; Wild Fowl and Birds, or Bird Game; 
Fish; Vegetables; Pot and Medicinal Herbs; Fruits 
and Nuts ; Dairy and Household Products, etc. 
The author has gleaned what he deems the useful, from 
the daily wants, and the common expressions of almost 
every home. " What shall we have to-day for dinner ? " 
•• What is there in our markets fit to eat V '"What kinds of 
meats, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, and fruits are in 
season ?" "What names are given to the different joints 
of meats, and what dishes are they severally and gener- 
ally used for? 1 ' These, ami many other similar ques- 
tions arc often discussed, with no one to an answer. 
Fi'f this book it is claimed that it contains a com- 
prehensive reply to all queries of thin nature. 
In orderthe more fully to carry out the views the author 
has entertained in relation to the various articles of 
food, he has used as illustrations the outlined diagram 
figures of such animals as are usually portioned out and 
sold by the public market butchers, with the various 
names, given with the accompanying engraved cuts of 
the principal joints. These are intended to assist in 
their recognition when called for, as well as to aid in ren- 
dering perfect the dishes commonly made from them. 
After the Butcher's Meats will be found a brief de- 
scription of other articles of food, with the periods of 
their season or when considered best ; also instructions 
to guide in judging of and selecting them in the 
various public market-places.
