COD'S SOUNDS, AND EGG SAUCE. PREPARATORY to boiling cod's sounds, it is quite necessary that they should be soaked in milk and water for at least six hours, and then washed and put to boil in a stewpan containing fresh milk and water; then continue gently boiling till they are done—about an hour will suffice to do this. When done, drain them on a napkin, cut them into pieces about an inch and a half square, and put them into a stewpan with a sufficient quantity of egg sauce (No. 34); toss the whole together over the fire, pile them up on a dish in a pyramidal form, garnish them round with neatly-cut boiled parsnips, and send to table.
