Aubergine, baked.—Choose the vegetables as much of
a size as possible, wash them and set them on a baking
tin in the oven (a moderate one), and bake from one
to one and a half hours, turning them now and again
whilst cooking. These are excellent with roast meat.
They may be roasted also in an American oven in front
of the fire, cooking them very slowly, and placing a
tiny pat of butter on each as you send it to table.
