- Ingredients—Some nice ripe tomatoes.

Put them on a greased baking-sheet, and bake in a moderate oven for about fifteen minutes.
Croustards with Minced Meat.
- Ingredients—Some stale bread.
- Scraps of cold meat.
- A little nice gravy.
- A little mushroom catsup.
- Pepper and salt to taste.
Method.—Cut the bread into slices three-quarters of an inch in thickness.
Stamp it into rounds with a circular cutter.
Mark the middle with a cutter two sizes smaller, and scoop out the inside, making little nests of them, and taking care not to break the bottom or sides.
Fry the cases in hot fat (see [French Frying]); drain them and put them inside the oven to keep hot.
