suffer the soup to boil, as that would occasion the

egg to curdle. Serve up hot.

OBS.

THIS Constitutes a palatable variety of pease soup. It requires no fried bread. Ignotus is of opinion, that if a proper quantity of curry powder was added to the above, a good soup would be prepared under the title of a " Curry Pease Soup," and upon .this invention he hazards his Culinary reputation. Heliogabalus offered rewards for the discovery of a new dish, and the British Parliament have given notoriety to inventions of much less importance than "Curry Pease Soup."

To dress a Beef Steak on the Moors.

THE steak being properly seasoned with white pepper and salt, put it, with a bit of butter, into a vessel called a "Conjurer;" when, by the help of a few pieces of dry heath, or a sheet of waste paper, the meat will be sufficiently done in a very short time.

OBS.

THE Vessel here named a "Conjurer," is made of tin, or sheet iron, with a lid so closely fitted that I

the rarified air cannot escape. It acts upon the principle of Papin's digester, and requires a small degree of heat. To render the steak more delicious, a few oysters may be put into the digester, and as this simple dish admits of a great variety, I shall venture to recommend the addition of some catchup, to please the palate as well as to satisfy the stomach. This is a good contrivance for persons whose affairs require economy in the management of their families, and yet whose employments in life may demand a course of substantial food. Gentlemen who, in the grouse season, go upos the moors, should be provided with this useful machine, which not only cooks meat, but expeditiously boils water. In such situations, a few handfuls of dry ling will make a convenient fuel. It stews moor-game very expeditiously.

A White Soup with Vermicelli.

INTO six quarts of water put a knuckle of veal; one large fowl cut into quarters; half a pound of lean ham; two anchovies; a few pepper-corns; two or three onions; a bundle of sweet herbs; and three or four heads of celery. Stew all to

gether till the soup become sufficiently strong, then strain it through a hair sieve into an earthen pot; after standing all night, take off the fat, and Soup clear off into a stew-pan, and pour the put into it half a pound of almonds beat very smooth boil a short time, and run the soup through a lawn sieve: then put in a pint of cream, a few spoonfuls of boiled rice, or vermicelli, and the yolk of an egg. The almonds are not absolutely necessary. Serve Serve up hot.

OBS.

THIS Soup may be considered as chyle ready prepared, and cannot but meet with the approbation of Archæus, as it will be the means of shorten-ing his trouble in the preparation of chyle.

Balnamoon Skink.

TAKE three or four young cocks, and after cutting them into quarters, put them into a pot with a sufficient quantity of water, but leave one of the fowls whole. When thoroughly boiled take out the whole fowl, and let the others be stewed down till the strength be completely drawn from the meat. Then strain the broth.

through a hair sieve, and return it into the pot, with a handful of chopped parsley, a few shred onions and chives, some young carrots, and any other vegetables. If the dish be prepared in summer, plenty of young pease should be added. When these are sufficiently boiled, put in the fowl that was taken out, and as soon at it has become thoroughly warmed, serve it up in the broth. Season with salt and pepper to the taste.

OBS.

THIS is a most excellent broth for persons of weak and tender constitutions, and for their use, is much preferable to broths made from shambles meat. It is best prepared in summer, when vegetables are young. In point of economy, as well as pleasure, it is a good method of disposing of young poultry, a mode of cookery practised, and well understood, in our sister kingdom. The fowl that is intended to be sent up, should be neatly trussed before being put-into the water. The others, being to be boiled down, do not require the same attention; so they need only to be cut into quarters, with a view to accelerate the extraction of their juices.

Ignotus, after consulting with Archæus, is of opinion, that the coarse part of a knuckle of veal, or the lean end of a neck of mutton, will not discredit this wholesome broth. A spoonful of curry pow-der, when added to the broth, would elegantly convert it into a " Curry Soup," in which case, it will require the addition of some rice, separately boiled. "Skink" is an old Scotch word for "Broth," and Ignotus wishes to retain the name in compli-ment to the nation where economy happily con-tinues to be a prominent feature. At Balnamoon,. Archæus has enjoyed many a good and wholesome.. dinner..
