CHICORY SALAD. Thoroughly wash and drain two heads of chicory; cut away the green leaves and use them for garnishing, or boil them as greens. Cut off the root-end from the bleached leaves, and put the latter into a salad-bowl that has been rubbed with a clove of garlic.
The fleet established a strict blockade of every port in Scamadumclitchclitch, and not a clove of garlic could enter the island. That compelled the Wuggard army of occupation to reopen the mines for its own subsistence. All this was told to me by the great and good and wise Jogogle-Zadester, King of Ug.

John felt that he should always now hate that clove stuff for the hair and could no longer bear to use it.
