SIDNEY SMITH’S SALAD. “To make this condiment, your poet begs The powdered yellow of two hard-boiled eggs; Two boiled potatoes, passed through the kitchen sieve, Smoothness and softness to the salad give ; Let onions’ atoms lurk within the bowl, And, half suspected, animate the whole; Of mordant mustard, add a single spoon; Distrust the condiment that bites so soon; But, deem it not, thou man of herbs, a fault To add a double quantity of salt; Four times the spoon with oil from Lucca crown, And twice with vinegar, procured from town ; And lastly, o'er the flavoured compound toss A magic soupcon of anchovy sauce
