sauce. Boil the
sauce ten minutes longer and pour scalding over the brains. Eat cold and
decorate with slices of lemon.

DEVILED BRAINS

Put one tablespoon of fat in skillet, and when hot add two tablespoons
of flour, rub until smooth, and brown lightly, then add one-half can of
tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, finely-chopped parsley, and a dash
of cayenne pepper, and the brains which have previously been cleaned,
scalded with boiling water, and cut in small pieces. Cook a few minutes,
and then fill the shells with the mixture. Over each shell sprinkle
bread crumbs, and a little chicken-fat. Put shells in pan and brown
nicely. Serve with green peas.

BRAINS WITH EGG SAUCE

Wash brains well, skin, boil fifteen minutes in salt water; slice in
stew-pan some onions, salt, pepper, ginger and a cup of stock. Put in
the brains with a little marjoram; let it cook gently for one-half hour.
Mix yolks of two eggs, juice of a lemon, a teaspoon of flour, a little
chopped parsley; when it is rubbed smooth, stir it into saucepan; stir
well to prevent curdling.

JELLIED CHICKEN

Boil a chicken in as little water as possible until the meat falls from
the bones, chop rather fine and season with pepper and salt. Put into a
mold a layer of the chopped meat and then a layer of hard-boiled eggs,
cut in slices. Fill the mold with alternate layers of meat and eggs
until nearly full. Boil down the liquor left in the kettle until half
the quantity. While warm, add one-quarter of a cup aspic, pour into the
mold over the meat. Set in a cool place overnight to jelly.

PRESSED CHICKEN

Boil one or more chickens just as you would for fricassee, using as
little water as possible. When tender remove all the meat from the bone
and take off all the skin. Chop as fine as possible in a chopping bowl
(it ought to be chopped as fine as powder). Add all the liquor the
chicken was boiled in, which ought to be very little and well seasoned.
Press it into the shape of a brick between two platters, and put a heavy
weight over it so as to press hard. Set away to cool in ice-chest and
garnish nicely with parsley and slices of lemon before sending to the
table. It should be placed whole upon the table, and sliced as served.
Serve pickles and olives with it. Veal may be pressed in the same way,
some use half veal and half chicken, which is equally nice.
