Cooking Is Easy When Guests
Assemble Their Own Kabobs
Warm weather sets the scene for patio, porch or
backyard cooking and dining A lazy, slow-paced
mood prevails and simple meals are in order. And
what could be a better choice than to serve Easy
Lamb Kabobs for the stellar attraction at a late Sun-
day afternoon or week day evening party?
Lamb is a meat renowned for its own delicate flavor
and yet some cooks seem to overlook lamb when mak
ing choices at the meat counter Curious since the
Persians were cooking lamb kabobs over their camp
fires centuries ago Lamb for kabobs is a money-
saver, too, because nearly any cut of lamb can be cub
ed and cooked up tenderly as kabobs.
Carefree summer cooking and dining create a
relaxing atmosphere for family and guests. Try for a
delightful change of pace, Easy Lamb Kabobs .
great for do-it-yourself grilling Each person can
thread his skewer and cook the appetizer in a jiffy.
Each diner is due for an unusually tasty dining ex
perience. All you have to do is have lamb and the
kabob components ready to go and set them out on the
table

Product Names, Labels
Identify Meat Contents
When you’re buying processed foods at the grocery store, do you know
what those names mean and what you’re getting7
There are standards set by the U S. Department of Agriculture for
those products that contain meat and poultry, assuring that if a product
goes by a particular name, it will have a certain amount of meal in it To
find out about the ones that are on your family's shopping list, send for a
free copy of Meat and Poultry Products. Just write Consumer Informa
tion Center, Department 523K, Pueblo. Colo , 81009
The U S Department of Agriculture < USDA i has standards of eom|K*si
tion and standards of identity Standards of composition identify the
minimum amount of meat or poultry required in a product's recipe For
example, the standard of composition for "chicken a la king” slates that
if a product carries this name on its label, at least 20 percent rooked
(xiultry meat must be used in the recipe
But. standards of composition don't prevent a manufacturer from in
creasing the meat or jmultry content, or adding other ingredients to in
crease a product’s appeal For instance, a processor has the option of us
mg more than the required amount of chicken in chicken a la king and ad
ding other ingredients to make the product unique
Standards of identity, on the other hand, set specific rc*quirements foi a
food's makeup the kind and minimum amount of meat or poultry, max
imum amount of fat or moisture, or any other ingredients allowed
A number of labeling regulations apply across the board to all meat
and poultry products These include Accurate product names ingre
dients listed from most to least weight in the product recipe, net quantity
of the package contents, name and address of the manufacturer, packer
or distributor, the USDA mark of inspection; and any special care or
handling instructions, such as “keep refrigerated In addition label
photographs or artwork must not l>e misleading
You can learn a lot about what to exja,ct from a product by just noting
the order in which major ingredients apjiear For example, the name
tieef with gravy tells you that there is more la*ef in that produc t Ilian m
one called gravy with ts'ef
I hr- information in the I SDA booklet includes listing'- for more than 2 *0
popular meat and jmultry products from baby food to won ton soup
Knowing ahead of turn- that a certain expensive meat product may con
lain as little as 10 percent meat, may help you decide to choose anolhei
product higher in meat content or lower in cost
