Artichokes preserved the Spanish way.
TAKE large artichokes, cut the tops of the leaves off, wash
them well and drain them; to every artichoke pour in a large
spoonful of oil, seasoned with pepper and salt. Send them to
the oven, and bake them, they will keep a year.
The Italians, French, Portuguese, and Spaniards, have va-
riety of peculiar ways of dressing of fish, which we have not,
such as
Making fish-soups, ragous, pies, &c.
For these soups, they use no gravy, nor in their sauces, think-
ing it improper to mix flesh and fish together; but make their
fish-soups with fish, viz. either of craw-fish, lobsters, &c. taking
only the juice of them.
