Breakfast. — Sardines (January 12th) ; Collared Tongue (January 2nd) ; Sally Lunns (June 4th) ; Bread and Milk (January 25th).

Dinner. — Hare Soup (January 19th) ; Fricassee of Chicken (July 28th) ; Potato Snow (April 7th). Boiled Salsify. — Wash the roots and brush them gently, and scrape away the outside skin. Cut them into three-inch lengths. Lay them in cold water if they are not to be cooked immediately. Put them into plenty of boiling water which has salt and a little lemon-juice in it, and boil them till tender. They will need to boil half an hour if small and young, and an hour if thick. When a fork will pierce them easily they are done. Drain them, put them into a tureen, and serve them with good melted butter (July 17th), or better still with Sauce Blanche (April 25tli). Cold boiled salsify is very good served as a salad, or the boiled roots may be dipped in frying Batter (October 22nd), and fried like apple fritters. When prepared in this way they are a very good garnish for boiled fish. Brown Bread Pudding (July 20tli) ; Cheese (June 8th). _ _ Things that must not be Forgotten. 1.
