Doyle will be looking for more than potatoes at dinner time. He doesn't look as if he lived entirely on potatoes." Sabina grinned. Doyle was a portly man. "It won't take me long to fry a couple of rashers," she said, "once the grease is hot." "And is fried bacon and potatoes all you're going to give the poor man? What wages does he pay you?" "Six pounds." "Very well. Now listen to me, Sabina.
This was put among the red embers, which were drawn over the lid so as to bake it from above as well as below. Then, if they had no other meat, rashers of bacon would be grilled over the fire, and eaten with the hot bread. Generally, however, they had been able to purchase a kid or some fowls at one or other of the little villages through which they passed.
She polished off a ninepenny haddick, skin and all, and after that she had two penny rashers, with six slices of bread and butter "doorsteps," as we used to call them and two half pints of cocoa, which is a meal in itself the way we used to make it. "Kipper" must have had a bit of luck that day. He couldn't have urged her on more had it been a free feed.
The stew was unanimously voted to be perfect, and Tom was again called to the tent-door, and solemnly forgiven. Then came fried rashers of ham, eaten with hard biscuit. Then came the great triumph of the banquet a great plum-pudding, which had been sent out from England in a tin, ready cooked, and which had only required an hour's boiling to warm it through.
By this time the rashers of pork were swimming about in the hot fat like doughnuts in bubbling lard. "It certainly smells all right," exclaimed Paul, as the appetizing odor from the frying meat filled the snow cave. "Hurry up and give us a piece." Roy made no reply but busied himself stirring the bits of meat with the point of his knife. "Is the bread ready?" the cook asked, turning to Philip.
"Twenty minutes here, gentlemen," says the coachman, as they pull up at half-past seven at the inn-door. Have we not endured nobly this morning? and is not this a worthy reward for much endurance? And here comes in the stout head waiter, puffing under a tray of hot viands kidneys and a steak, transparent rashers and poached eggs, buttered toast and muffins, coffee and tea, all smoking hot.
Breakfast was an easy meal to get. They just had to boil the coffee, and fry several rashers of bacon for each mess; after which the appointed cooks, tried their hands at making flapjacks; which, be it mentioned here, are about the same as the common pancake at home, though never called by that ordinary name in camp.
"and nice cozy fires, and rashers of bacon broiling, and plenty of coffee, and all around just like daisies in the field, clean new shirts, and drawers and socks, and handkerchiefs and shoes and writing paper and soap." "Will you go to hell and stop talking as you go?" "Seems somehow an awful lonely place, boys! dark and a wind. Hear that whippoorwill?
It's a curious circumstance, said Trotty, proceeding in his cookery, with the assistance of the toasting-fork, 'curious, but well known to my friends, that I never care, myself, for rashers, nor for tea. I like to see other people enjoy 'em, said Trotty, speaking very loud, to impress the fact upon his guest, 'but to me, as food, they're disagreeable.
And when I have a bloater for my breakfast I'm partial to a bloater it's black outside, as if it was done in the cinders; and then inside well, I like them done all through, like any other man. Then I can't get her to get me gammon rashers. She will get these little tiddy rashers, with little white bones in them. Why, while you're cutting them out the bacon gets cold.
