FRENCH PORRIDGE. Stir together some oatmeal and water, and pour off the
latter. Put fresh in, stir it well, and let it stand till the next day.
Strain it through a fine sieve, and boil the water, which must be small
in quantity, adding some milk while it is doing. With the addition of
toast, this is much in request abroad, for the breakfast of weakly
persons.
FRENCH PUDDING. Grate six ounces of brown bread, and shred half a pound
of suet. Add four eggs well beaten, half a pound of currants picked and
washed, a quarter of a pound of sugar, and a little nutmeg. Mix all
together, tie the pudding up close in a cloth, and boil it two hours.
Serve it up with a sauce of melted butter, a little sugar and sweet
wine.
FRENCH ROLLS. Rub one ounce of butter into a pound of flour; mix one egg
beaten, a little yeast that is not bitter, and as much milk as will make
the dough tolerably stiff. Beat it well, but do not knead it: let it
rise, and bake it on tins.
FRENCH SALAD. Mince up three anchovies, a shalot, and some parsley. Put
them into a bowl with two table-spoonfuls of vinegar, one of oil, and a
little salt and mustard. When well mixed, add by degrees some cold roast
or boiled meat in very thin slices: put in a few at a time, not
exceeding two or three inches long. Shake them in the seasoning, and
then put more: cover the bowl close, and let the salad be prepared three
hours before it is to be eaten. Garnish with parsley, and a few slices
of the fat.
FRICANDEAU OF BEEF. Take a nice piece of lean beef; lard it with bacon
seasoned with pepper, salt, cloves, mace, and allspice. Put it into a
stewpan with a pint of broth, a glass of white wine, a bundle of
parsley, all sorts of sweet herbs, a clove of garlic, a shalot or two,
four cloves, pepper and salt. When the meat is become tender, cover it
close. Skim the sauce well, strain it, set it on the fire, and let it
boil till reduced to a glaze. Glaze the larded side with this, and serve
the meat on sorrel sauce.
