TAKE twelve bottoms, soften them in warm water, as in the foregoing receipts: take half a pint of water, a piece of the strong soup, as big as a small walnut, half a spoonful of the catchup, five or six of the dried mushrooms, a tea-spoonful of the mushroom-powder, let it boil, then throw all together, and let it boil softly two or three minutes. Let the last water you put to the bottoms boil; take them out hot, lay them in your dish, pour the sauce over them, and send them to table hot.
