Poor Man’s Goose. Cabbage Soup. Cold Pork, with Brawn Semolina Mould. Curried Rabbit. Sauce. Boiled Rice. Hot Buttered Toast. Potatoes. Vienna Bread. Stewed Endive. Brown and White Bread Stewed Pranes. and Butter. Custard. Damson Jam. Bread and Milk. Cheese. Marketing. For the Day.— The Fry of a small Pig, about one and a half pounds. This must be perfectly fresh, or it will not be good. One good-sized Gstend Rabbit, to weigh about three and a half pounds ; a fine young Cabbage, with a good heart, for soup ; Potatoes, Endive. For To-morrow.— One good-sized Brill (see January 9th); two fine Fowls, trussed for boiling ; three heads of Celery. Fowls will be very dear soon, therefore it will be well to have a couple while they are still to be had at a reasonable price. Fowls for boiling should have small but not black legr, and the flesh should be as white as possible. One pound of Bacon, cut into thin rashers (see Bacon, January 3rd) ; two Batavian Endives ; a small Beet¬ root ; one-pennyworth of Parsley ; quarter of a pint of picked Shrimps ; three- pennyworth of fresh Cream ; a couple of fresh unsalted Pig’s Feet, ready cleaned by the butcher. The feet of large pigs will be better than those of small ones. v Breakfast. — Tinned Prawns. — The prawns are contained in a bag inside the tin. Take them out carefully, and arrange the prawns on a dish covered with a fish paper, and garnish with parsley. They look very pretty piled in a pyramid shape, and, if liked, a lemon or a piece of bread may be put in the midst of them to support them in their position. Pork, left yesterday; Brawn Sauce (January 15th); Vienna Bread, made yesterday ; Bread and Milk (January 25th). Luncheon. — Pig’s Fry , or Poor Man’s Goose. — Scrub and wash well three pounds of potatoes. Put them into a saucepan with as much cold water as will cover them, and bring the water to a boil. Take the potatoes up, peel them, and cut them into slices a quarter of an inch thick. Boil also a Spanish onion, and mince it finely, Mix together a tea-spoonful of salt, two salt- spoonfuls of pepper, and a tea-spoonful of dried sage
