Blackbeard's treasure chest was not half so precious as a side of salted fish which he ran down by scent, saying to himself: "With this rancid cheese and the slab o' ancient cod, ye could smell my course a league to wind'ard."

Lettuce, Romaine, endive and chicory or escarole make the best dinner salads, although one may use mixed cooked vegetables or well-prepared uncooked cabbage.

Use them mixed, alone, or as a garnish for lettuce.
