Hops, fried.—Scrape the shoots a little, well
wash, and three-parts boil them in acidulated salted
water, then drain, sprinkle with salt, and leave till
perfectly cold. Then flour them, dip in beaten egg
and fresh breadcrumbs, and fry a golden brown
in boiling fat. Serve plain, sprinkled with salt,
or with any sauce to taste, handed separately.
