![they are the result of the true science of cookery, and it is this science I wish to inculcate in you English house- wives, so that, armed with true light, you may disperse the darkness through which many young housekeepers have hitherto had to grope their way. Somebody sent me the other day a recipe for making coffee which would make any French man’s orwoman’s hair stand on end. The small quantity of coffee, the immense quantity of water, then an egg-shell and the white of the egg mixed up in it—indeed, the concoction of the whole is the most amusing joke I have ever heard. I am afraid the trouble of the manufacture would be very great, and the result certainly very poor ! Now I will dictate the MENU. POTAGE. Soupe de chasseur. [Sportsman's soup.] Poisson. Barbue a la sauce au homard. [Brill with lobster sauce.] Entree. Lapin et petit sale aux choux. [Boiled rabbit with bacon and cabbage.] Roti. Canards sauvages. [ Wild ducks.] Legumes. Salsifis frits. [Sal sifis fried in batter.] Choux de Bruxelles. [Brussels sprouts.]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21524671_0146.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
