purpose and made up hot.

freshen it, boil in two waters, pick free
from bones, mash it thoroughly in a pan
with a potato masher. Turn m the hot
potatoes and pound them together, add
a seasoning of black pepper, very little
butter and, \i you choose, i egg or 2 or 3

912— Cream Chocolate
There was the Queen and Crescent
restaurant enjoying qui':e a reputation for
its chocolate, every cup_ of which was
said to be served v^ith ^^'hipped cream on
top although, in fact, no cream ever came
near it — it was simply made to order and
whisked up while on the fire as directed
at our No. 36, but with less milk than
that, and served with the appearance of
whipped chocolate cream upon it. And
there was, close by, the Hotel Fantastic,
on Fantastic Beach, that was said never
to have served a good cup of chocolate
during the whole ot its unprofitable ex-
istence. Such ib the difference resulting
from the methods of making — the latter
using twice as much chocolate, making
it hours too soon and spoiling it irrevo-
cably in the detestable, bain-marie can,
a miniature mud well.
