Sauce for Meats, Delmonico's. — The following is Delmonico's favorite sauce: " Take an ounce of ham or bacon, cut it up in small pieces and fry in hot fat. Add an onion and carrot, cut up; thicken with flour, then add a pint or quart of broth, according to quantity desired. Season with pepper and salt, and any spice or herb that is relished (better though without the spice), and let it simmer for an hour, skim carefully and strain. A wine-glassful of any wine may be added if liked. "
