Eggs a la Russe. Spread a piece of toast with fresh caviar, put an egg fried in oil on top, and put anchovy sauce around the edge on the platter. Eggs fried in oil. Fry the eggs one at a time. Have a very small frying pan with plenty of very hot olive oil in it. Drop a fresh egg in it, and turn with a wooden spoon. If any other kind of spoon is used the egg will stick to it. When of a good yellow color, take out and place on a towel, so the oil can drain off, and season with salt. The eggs should be soft inside, like a poached egg. Anchovy sauce. To a cup of cream add one spoonful of essence of anchovies, or one teaspoonful of anchovy paste. Anchovy sauce is also made with sauce Allemande, white wine sauce, or even a brown sauce, if desired. The cream sauce with the essence is more commonly used with eggs. Boiled beef tongue. Put a fresh beef tongue in cold water and bring to the boiling point, skim, add salt, one carrot, one onion, a bouquet garni, one stalk of celery, and one of leek. Boil until tongue is soft. The bouillon may be used for stock or soup, or to make caper sauce. For beef tongue with spinach, put plain boiled spinach on platter, sliced tongue on top, and pour a little of the broth over all. Raspberry Bavarois. (For four or five persons.) One pint of milk, one pint of whipped cream, the yolks of four eggs, one-quarter pound of sugar, six sheets of French gelatine, and one-half pint of raspberry juice. Boil the milk with the sugar, then pour over the yolks, and set on the fire again until it thickens, but do not let it boil. Wash the gelatine in cold water, add to the mixture, and stir until melted. Then set aside until cold. Mix the raspberry pulp with the whipped cream, and stir into the mixture. Put in mould and place in ice box until set. Turn out on platter, and serve with whipped cream or raspberry syrup, separate or around the bavarois. Sardines on toast. Take sardines from can and put on a fine thin wire broiler and heat quickly. Serve on toast with maitre d'hotel butter on top, and garnish with quartered lemons and parsley.
