Broken bread is frequently given to the poor, and a great scandal is created because they throw it away in- stead of using it. Very often, however, they do not know what to do with it. An excellent pudding of broken bread may be made by pouring boiling water upon the yiieces, letting them soak lor a while, then draining them, and beating them up with a good slice of dripping, some coarse sugar, currants, and nutmeg.
