SALT COD DINNER 
Buy a pound PIECE of salt fish for 3 or 4 servings. Cover fish with cold water and bring to a simmer on lowest burner on stove. If water tastes very salty pour off and start over again. Never boil, just simmer until tender. While cod is cooking, try out bits of salt pork and drain. Save 2 tablespoons fat from pork and add 2 heaping tablespoons flour. Blend well and use to thicken 2 cups hot milk for cream sauce. Serve the cod on your prettiest platter. Cover with cream sauce and sprinkle with pork scraps. Surround with new boiled potatoes and you can really taste New England!

 Joel C. Brothers (Georgia) says:
This recipe came out perfect. I had to substitute new potatoes for yellow-skins, cut into large chunks, but it still was outstanding.

This would probably work with a vegetable medley as well, like maybe a California Mix, or just broccoli and carrots.

Whatever you do, make sure you serve a good Cole Slaw on the side. It really accents the flavors.
