Applications come before a Joint Committee of the Heads of the
Departments, whilst a Central Care Committee composed partly of Councillors
and partly of Teachers and others interested in the work supervises
administration.
The Supervisor has a fairly free hand in the purchase of vegetables, fruit,
depending on the state of the market, and this policy certainly makes for a
good meal from this point of view.
The menu is varied, as can be seen from the following menu, which is that
adopted for the Winter months:—
Monday.—Soup made from stock-pot, bones, calves' feet, onions, grated
carrots, potatoes, haricot beans and dumplings.
Rice pudding and Lyle's golden syrup.
Tuesday.—Beef and mutton, roast, alternate weeks, potatoes baked and
boiled, greens.
Currant roll.
Wednesday.—Shepherd's Pie, potatoes and greens.
Jam Roll.
Thursday.—Meat pudding and pie alternate weeks, potatoes, haricot
beans.
Rice pudding baked and rice boiled with currants, alternate weeks.
Friday.—Fish boiled with sauce and baked in dripping, alternate weeks,
potatoes and lentils.
Bread puddings baked and boiled.
Saturday.—Beef salt, potatoes and carrots.
Yorkshire puddings, or batter made with egg-powder, raisins.
