— fried.—These make a delicious accom-
paniment to roast meat or fried bacon. Choose
small tomatoes (the so-called “bird” kind, about
the size of a large cherry are nicest), as whole and
perfect as possible; heat a little fat or butter in a pan
(or use the bacon fat when the rashers have been
lifted out), and toss the tomatoes in this, gently
turning them now and again with a blunt skewer
(if pricked with a fork, the juice and flavour all exudes)
till they are glazed and cooked, which they should
be in from eight to ten minutes, and serve.
