an egg; when it is
melted, stir into it a tablespoonful of fine flour, and half a pint of
the broth of the beef; add a tablespoonful of vinegar, one of mushroom
ketchup, or port wine, or both, and a tablespoonful of made mustard;
simmer together till it is as thick as you wish, put in the parsley
and pickles to get warm, and pour it over the beef, or send it up in a
sauce-tureen. This is excellent for stewed or boiled beef.

Chop very fine an ounce of onion and half an ounce of green sage
leaves, put them into a stewpan with four spoonfuls of water, simmer
gently for ten minutes, then put in a teaspoonful of pepper and salt,
and one ounce of fine bread-crumbs; mix well together; then pour to it
a quarter of a pint of broth, or gravy, or melted butter; stir well
together, and simmer it a few minutes longer. This is an excellent
relish for roast pork, poultry, geese or ducks, or green peas.
