Cut the pork into small pieces and tr\^ it out. In this cook the
sliced onion. Strain the fat into another receptacle, and put the
potatoes into the strained fat. Add boiling water, corn which
has been cooked till tender, and hot milk. Season with salt and
white pepper, bring to the boiling-point, and serve with a cracker
on each soup-plate.
CHEESE-STICKS
Cut stale bread in long, narrow strips, spread with butter or
butter substitute and then \^^th a thick coating of grated cheese✪ Cheese-Sticks.
Place in the oven until brown. Crackers may be treated in a
similar manner. These should be passed when the soup is served.
GARNISHES
Garnishes should be simple, appropriate, easy to prepare, but
they should not be used to disguise deficiencies or poor qualities
of any dish. Edible garnishes are more appropriate than those
that are used merely for appearance. At least one-third of a dish
should be left free of garnish. The garnish should be so placed
that it does not interfere with the service. With a few excep-
tions, such as candied or maraschino cherries, sweet pickles or
preserved whole currants, strawberries or cranberries, sweets are
not used to garnish savory dishes. Toast or puff pastes should
not, as a rule, be used on the same dish with potatoes.
GARNISHES FOR SOUPS
One of the simplest garnishes for soup is a tablespoon of salted
whipped cream sprinkled with a dash of paprika or a little very
finely chopped parsley.
Eggs are used as garnishes of soups in the form of a baked
custard cut in fancy shapes, or as egg balls. The whole yolks
poached in salted water just below the boiling-point may be used ;
one yolk is served with each plate of soup.
Noodles, tapioca, spaghetti or macaroni cut in fancy shapes
make simple and attractive garnishes for soup.
Cooked vegetables cut in thin strips or in Julienne style or in
fancy shapes or slices, are often used to add color, flavor and
nutritive value to a soup. Soups may also be garnished with
cubes of bread or puff paste buttered and browned in the oven
or fried in deep fat.
GARNISHES FOR EGG DISHES
Eggs are usually served with toast in some form. They may
be garnished with crisp slices of bacon and a spray of parsley or
they may be served on a bed of chopped spinach, mashed potato
or chopped meat. A sauce or puree is a very attractive garnish
for poached eggs. Eggs are sometimes garnished with grated
cheese or cooked egg-yolk put through a sieve.
