Notes. — Finnan haddock is very nice used in kedgeree. A little curry powder is sometimes added. A hard-boiled egg can also be used, the Kedgeree white chopped and mixed with the other in- gredients, and the yolk rubbed through a sieve on the top of the kedgeree after dishing. The raw yolk of egg may be omitted, but it tends to soften the kedgeree and is an improvement. Time to cook, J hour. Sufficient for 3 or 4 persons. 348. Fish Kromeskies f lb. cooked fish. 1 oz.
