1154. SALSIFIS, FRIED IN BATTER.
PREPARE the salsifis as above, and when done, drain and cut them into pieces about three inches long; put these into a basin with two table-spoonfuls of oil, one of French vinegar, some mignonette-pepper and salt; allow them to steep in this until within about ten minutes before sending them to table; they must then be drained upon a napkin, dipped in some light-made batter, and fried in hog's-lard made hot for the purpose; when done, drain them on a cloth, dish them up on a napkin with fried parsley, and serve.
