**MALADOO**, s. *Chicken maladoo* is an article in the Anglo-Indian menu. It looks like a corruption from the French *cuisine*, but of what? [Maladoo or Manadoo, a lady informs me, is cold meat, such as chicken or mutton, cut into slices, or pounded up and re-cooked in batter. The Port. *malhado*, 'beaten-up,' has been suggested as a possible origin for the word.]
