Mushrooms, Broiled.— Choose large flaps, cut off the stalks about half an inch from the gills, and peel the tops. If very gritty wash in water acidulated with vinegar, and dry immediately. Place them on a gridiron over a clear fire, stalk downwards, for about three minutes, then turn them and place a small morsel of butter in the centre of each, and let them cook till done. Place upon a dish, stalk- side upwards, in front of a bright fire, place on more butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve very hot with a few drops of lemon-chili vinegar and Worcester sauce
