Prepare the same as prune toast. Add cream or a piece of butter and the yolk of an egg.
Predigested foods are beneficial for the sick, and under certain conditions for the well, provided they are not over-indulged in. If desired, they are generally best eaten at the evening meal, after the body has expended considerable energy, and is too tired to properly digest natural foods. If over-indulged in they keep the stomach from doing its proper work, and tend to make it weak and lacy.
CREAM TOAST OF WHEAT BREAD OR SHREDDED WHEAT.
Dissolve one tablespoonful of milk sugar in one-half or three-fourths cup of boiling water and pour over one slice of whole wheat bread or biscuit. Let stand a minute, then add four ounces of hot cream, and serve.
CRANBERRY OR TOMATO TOAST.
Heat two small round or one long zwieback and soften with two tablespoonfuls of tomato or cranberry sauce. Serve on a plate and drink milk with it.
APPLE TOAST.
Use thick apple sauce. Prepare the same as apricot toast. The four last recipes are excellent for constipation.
MILK TOAST.
Scald some fresh milk. Add a stick of cinnamon, if desired. Pour over white or black toast.
