White Puddings (another way). — Take the fry of a small freshly -killed pig, with half a pound of fresh pork and half a pound of the inner fat of the pig. Mince all finely together, and mix thoroughly with a handful of fresh parsley leaves, two sage leaves, a sprig of chervil, and a moderate-sized onion, all chopped smaE. Take three ounces of the stale crumb of bread, grate finely, and boil it to a pulp in half a pint of milk ; beat it with a wooden spoon, and add a heaped tea-spoonful of salt, half a tea-spoonful of powdered sugar, a tea- spoonful of white pepper, half a tea-spoonful of diy mustard, as much grated nutmeg as wiU lie on a thi-eepenny-piece, a pinch of powdered mace, a pinch of powdered coriander-seed, and a tea-spoonful of grated lemon-rind. "Wlien the seasoning ingi-edients are thoroughly mixed with the boiled bread, stir in the minced meat, and bind the mixture together with the weU- beaten yolks of two and the white of one egg. A small piece of garlic may be added to the other ingredients, if the flavour is not objected to; and work in one ounce and a half of dried flour. Three-parts fill some well-prepared pigs' skins with the mixture, and tie them firmly in links about six inches in length. Be careful to leave room for the mixtui-e to swell. Put them into warm water, let them boil, then simmer gently for two hours. As they swell prick them with a needle to let out the aii'. Hang them in a cool situation. When wanted, cover with but- tered paper and broil the puddings over a clear fire ; remove the paper, and serve verj'- hot. Time to broil the puddings, about twenty-five minutes.
