à la Languedocienne.—Halve the veget-
ables lengthways, remove the seeds, and with the
point of a sharp knife score the inside across and across
in squares or lozenges, being careful not to pierce
the skin, sprinkle well with fine salt, freshly ground
black pepper, and a grate of nutmeg, and grill over
a clear, gentle fire, moistening it now and again with
salad oil.
