Smoked Haddock Toast.—Flake very finely half a cooked Finnon haddock (one stewed in milk for choice). Meantime melt 1oz. of butter with a full teaspoonful of flour, and the same of minced chives (or a very finely minced shallot) and of parsley, and stir it all over the fire till quite hot (but not browned), then add the flaked fish ; meanwhile beat up one or two eggs in half a pint of milk (preferably that in which the haddock was cooked), season to taste with black, red, or white pepper, and pour it to the fish, stirring it all over the fire till thickened and well blended, when you pour it on to croûtons of fried brown bread, and serve very hot, dusted with coralline pepper and minced parsley.
Or : Flake the fish finely, and for each table-spoonful allow a well-washed fillet of anchovy and a tiny piece of butter, and pound it all till smooth, seasoning it with a dust of pepper. Now stir it to a gill of any nice white sauce, allow it to get thoroughly
