Real Cooking


Did You Know?
Chicken is one of the most digestible of meats, contains considerable phosphorus and is particularly valuable as food for people on special diet.

Turkey is somewhat less digestible than chicken. Ducks and geese are difficult of digestion, unless quite young, on account of the fat they contain.

Game, if well cooked, is fairly digestible
.

The knowledge of food values and their relation to the body will be of little use for practical purposes unless combined with the knowledge of how the various foods should be prepared, either by cooking or in whatever other form circumstances and the material may require.
