This recipe was extracted from A year's cookery (1880) by Phillis Browne, page 176. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.
Milk Porridge. Cheese. Marketing. For the Day.— A large Cauliflower ; a quarter of a pound of Beef Suet ; a good- sized Lamb’s Fry ; one pound of Bacon in strips ; Potatoes ; Spring Cabbage ; a pennyworth of Parsley. For To-morrow.— One or two Leverets are probably needed for a dish, but of course this must depend upon the requirements of the family. Like hares, leverets should be kept for awhile before being dressed. They may generally be bought ready for cooking, but if it is preferred to hang them at home it should be remembered that they will not keep long in warm weather. A leveret may be known by the knob on the first joint of the fore¬ leg. Two or three sets of Chickens’ or Ducks’ Giblets; Half a pound of French Chocolate ; four plump Sheep’s Kidneys ; a tin of Collared Tongue (January 2nd) ; three heads of Lettuce ; a pennyworth of boiled Beetroot ; a pennyworth of Watercress; a half -penny worth of Small Salad; Potatoes; Cauliflower ; Asparagus ; Gherkins ; half a pint of Mushrooms, or a small tin of Champignons : Capers and Anchovies or Sardines will be needed for Russian Salad; one pound of Sea Biscuits. Breakfast. — Potted Beef (January 23rd) ; Buttered Eggs (January 16th). Milk Porridge. — Boil a pint of milk. Whilst it is boiling mix a table-spoonful of oatmeal smoothly with a little cold milk, stir the boiling milk into this, and boil it for ten minutes, stirring it all the time. Add a pinch of salt or a little sugar, if preferred, and eat with bread
