Fried or toasted bread should be served with it.
MILK SOUP .-- Milk soup, as it is sometimes called in Germany, very much resembles English custard.

It is made by putting a quart of milk on the fire and thickening it with two yolks of eggs and a little flour, and sweetening it with sugar.

The soup is flavoured with either vanilla, lemon, laurel leaves, pounded almonds, cinnamon, chocolate, &c.

As a soup, however, it is not suited to the English palate.
MOCK TURTLE, IMITATION .-- Take an onion, carrot, small head of celery, and some turnip, and boil them till they are tender in some stock.

The water in which some rice has been boiled is very well suited for the purpose.
Add also to every quart a brimming tablespoonful of mixed savoury herbs.
Rub the whole through a wire sieve, thicken it with brown roux till it is as thick as cream; add a few drops of Parisian essence--( sold in bottles by all grocers)--to give it a dark colour.
