Agrodolce. — Boil fresh calf’s tongue or sheep’s tongue until tender. Slice and keep hot while you prepare a sour -sweet sauce by heating a gill of the liquor in which the meat was boiled, adding to it a table-spoon- ful each of salad oil and vinegar, a heaping teaspoonful each of gran- ulated sugar, Sultana raisins, and almonds, blanched and shredded. Add salt and pepper to taste. The real Italian agrodolce has a large table - spoonful of grated chocolate added to this sauce, which is then poured over the sliced tongue. Sin- gular as the combination sounds, it is yet very good. A la Mode, Beef. See Beef. Allemande Sauce. See Sauces.

Stir them about occasionally, that all may receive an equal amount of heat. When of a uniform golden brown, turn, while still hot, into a colander, and drain off all superfluous grease. Sprinkle the nuts thickly with fine table -salSalted Almondst, tossing and stirring them while doing so. Shake once more in a dry colander, and spread on a platter to become cool and crisp.
