Let it all boil up well; then skim. When cold pour into an earthenware pan; then put in the meat and turn it every day for ten or fourteen days.

TONGUE TOAST

Grate finely the remains of a tongue, and mix it with the yolk of an egg, a tablespoonful of cream, finely chopped parsley, pepper, and a little salt.

Make it very hot, but not boiling, and pour it on to fingers of well-buttered toast.

Grated ham can also be prepared exactly the same, with a little fine chopped onion if liked.

CHEESE STRAWS

One ounce grated cheese, one ounce butter, slightly over one ounce of flour, a little pepper and salt.

Put all into a basin and work into a stiff paste; then roll out and cut them evenly with a knife in lengths. Place on a baking-sheet, a little distance apart, and bake in a warm oven about ten minutes, but they must be watched, so as not to get too brown. They should be a pale straw colour.

POTATO SALAD

3 cold boiled potatoes.
3 hard-boiled eggs.
½ cup of English walnuts.
12 olives.
