A Spanish Dish Put a deep frying pan on the fire, with a generous allowance of either good butter or fresh lard. The frying pan to do its work correctly must be as hot as it can be. Meanwhile take four fresh eggs, break them and beat well; add to these half a small onion, a piece of butter the size of a walnut, a dash of cayenne, and a little cinnamon. Now take four fresh eggs, break them and beat well; add to these the pulps of three tomatoes. Next melt a lump of cheese as large as a silver dollar
