Cook it until the potatoes are tender; drain; mash the potatoes with the cod meat; add the pepper and the eggs, beaten. When thoroughly mixed, have ready a pan of hot Snowdrift. Drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls into the hot Snowdrift, brown and turn. Drain on paper and serve. OYSTER SAUTE Drain twenty-five good fat oysters. Pour ever them a little cold water and drain again. Put into a shallow frying pan four tablespoonfuls of Snowdrift; when very hot, add a few oysters at a time; shake them until brown and lift them with a skimmer to a saucepan. When all have been browned, put two tablespoonfuls of Snowdrift and two of flour into a saucepan, mix and add a half pint of boiled and strained oyster liquor. When boiling, add a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne, a dash of black pepper and a teaspoonful of Worcestershire Sauce. Add the oysters and when hot serve on toast.
