Try a dish of creamed salmon with a border of barley; one of hominy surrounded by fried apples; or a bowl of rice heaped with bananas baked to a turn and removed from their skins just before serving, and be glad that the war has stirred you out of food ruts! Cereals combined with milk make most wholesome puddings, each almost a well-balanced meal in itself.
I ate far more than satisfied me, but far less than satisfied Martha, who seemed to hope that cold fowl and boiled eggs, fried bacon and pickled beef, plain cakes and currant cakes, jam and marmalade, buttered toast, strong tea and unlimited sugar and yellow cream, would atone for the past in proportion to the amount I ate, if it did not fatten me under her eyes.
'You're sweetly welcome, said the assistant, busily washing his hands at the sink, and looking sideways at her. 'You're a queer fish, any way. ''Tis a queer fish I am, she answered, 'an' by-an'-by they'll have the cookin' of me. Fried soul, she said, with a faint laugh. 'Begobs! that's funny; I never thought o'that before. Fried soul! 'How old are you? the assistant asked.
The miners were cooking their breakfasts as we passed along, and the fumes of fried pork and boiling coffee greeted our nostrils at every turn. Stretched out as far as the eye could reach were tents of every color and hue, from the new comer of yesterday to the old stager blackened by the dust and rains of nearly twelve months.
As soon as they had entered, "Nitida," cried the Nubian, "bring hither the stove and the jar of oil, and we will have a good supper." Saying thus, he drew from under his cloak some little fish which he had kept concealed, and lighted a fire and fried them. The Bishop, the girl, the two boys, and the two slaves sat in a ring on the carpet, ate the fried fish, and blessed the Lord.
However, at length the list was compiled, and he caught a deep breath; which latter proceeding caused him to catch also the attractive odour of something fried in fat. "I beseech you to have a morsel," murmured his hostess. Chichikov looked up, and saw that the table was spread with mushrooms, pies, and other viands. "Try this freshly-made pie and an egg," continued Madame.
One of the features of the luncheon was the fact that no one knew until the moment of serving what the various courses were to be. When it was discovered that Marian and Elizabeth had ordered fried chicken, for which Vinton's was famous, with potatoes au gratin and tiny French peas, there was general rejoicing.
He made fun of his amateur house-keeping he would forget things and let them burn, or let the fire go out; and he had tried living altogether on cold food, to the great perplexity of his stomach. Then he gave a demonstration of his hard-won culinary skill. He boiled rice and raisins, and fried bacon and eggs; and they had fresh bread and butter, and jam and pickles, and a festive cake.
The majority of the saleswomen, however, were dealers in eatables, dried fish, smoked fish, canki which is a preparation of ground corn wrapped up in palm leaves in the shape of paste eggs, fowls, kids, cooked meats in various forms, stews, boiled pork, fried knobs of meat, and other native delicacies, besides an abundance of seeds, nuts, and other vegetable productions.
Place balls in salted boiling water, cook until light and thoroughly done, serve just, as they are or fried in chicken fat until brown. The dumplings may be made of the same mixture and in the centre of each dumpling place stripes of bread one inch long and one-fourth inch thick which have been fried in chicken fat and onions. Flour your hands well and make into dumplings.
