Vfhile the fermenta- tion goes on in the cask it may be filled up with the beer left over, or with any other_ kind at hand ; when the fermentation ceases, in about two or three days, the cask must be bunged up, and in a few days the beer will be ready for use. It may be drawn from the cask or bottled. MAN ( 40.- ) MAP Mango. — Of all the tropical fruits, the mango is one of the most grateful to Europeans. In form it is like a short, thick cucumber. The skin of the fruit is thick, and the interior con- sists of a pulp, which melts in the mouth with cooling sweetness. Mango Chutney.^Peel, core, and quarter si.x pounds of sour apples, and boil them in nearly two pints of vinegar ; pound eight ounces of onions, about ten or twelve ounces of ginger, and foul- ounces of garHc together ; add these to the apples and vinegar, -with twelve ounces each of sugar (which should be first dissolved), stoned raisins, and mustard-seed; this last should be washed in vinegar, and dried in the sun, before being added. Mix well in a large bowl, and throw in, while mixing, another pint of vinegar, and four ounces of dried chillies. Bottle at once closely and tie bladder over the cork. Probable cost, 3s. 6d. for this quantity. Mangoes, Cucumber {see Cucumber Mangoes) . Mangoes, Melon {see Melon Mangoes). Mangoes, Pickled. — Take a melon of the sort generally used for pickling, first seeing that it is not quite ripe; cut off a slice from the top, and carefully pick out all the seeds. Shred finely one oimce of garlic ; mix it with two ounces of mustard-seedMango Chutney, and the seeds of the melon. Now, put this back as a stufiing, place the top on, and bind it down. Boil, in two quarts of best -vinegar, one ounce of Jamaica peppers, one ounce of whole allspice, one ounce of bruised ginger, and a tea-spooi\ful of salt ; when boiling pour it over the melon. The same vinegar must be put into a saucepan, boiled up again, and thrown over the melon for three successive days, or more if possible ; then tie do-wn with bladder to exclude the air. Manna Croup Pudding. — This pud- ding is made in the same way as most grain- puddings, but may be greatly improved by add- ing a few chopped or pounded almonds. Boil ciix dessert-spoonfuls of manna croup in a pint of new milk, -with half an ounce of bitter almonds, blanched and poimded, and eight lumps of ■white sugar, for two minutes, then pour the mixture into a buttered pie-dish, and let it stand for twenty minutes. When almost cold, stir in three well- beaten eggManna Croup Puddings, and bake in a moderate oven for thirty or thirty-five minutes. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for three or four persons. Manna Groats or Manna Croup.— This is a kind of semolina, prepared in Russia — usually from the hard wheats of Odessa and Taganrog. " In the process of grinding for flour, small rounded fragments of these hard grains are obtained from the grooves of the grinding-stones, and these constitute the ordi- nary manna groats, which forms one of the most esteemed materials for puddings. It is undistinguishable from the semolina of Italy. Another kind is made by husking the small grain of the aquatic grass Glycerla Jiuitans, which is carefully collected for the purpose ; it is expensive, and is only used as a luxury. Small quantities of the common kind are
