Breakfast. — Pilchards {see Sardines, January 12th) ; Pigs’ Feet

Dinner. — Vermicelli Soup. — Take three ounces of vermicelli,
break it lightly with the hands in order that it may be conveniently
carried from the plate to the mouth. Put it into a saucepan of cold
water, and set it over the fire for a few minutes to cleanse it
thoroughly by dissolving the outside dust. Let it cool, then drain it
and pour away the water. Have ready three pints of nicely-flavoured
stock✪ Vermicelli Soup. Let it boil, then drop the vermicelli into it, and let it boil
again for ten minutes, or till the vermicelli is tender ; stir it gently
once or twice to keep the vermicelli from getting into lumps. Pro¬
perly Clear Soup should be used (July 30th), or Clear Soup quickly
made (February 15th) ; but for ordinary consumption, stock made
from bone, nicely flavoured, strained, and freed from fat, will answer
the purpose very well. Boasted Guinea F owl (April 5th) ; Bacon
(January 19th) ; Bread Sauce (October 18th) ; Potatoes (May 12th) ;
Seakale (June 14tli) ; Queen’s Pudding (August 9th) ; Cheese

Supper. — Boiled Beef. Put the glazed meat on a dish, and

Things that must not be Forgotten.
1. Turn the mutton in the pickle.
2. If the carver can quite conveniently leave the legs of the
Guinea Fowl untouched, they may be devilled for breakfast {see
January 14th) ; if not, Eggs on the Dish (December 7th) may be
served instead.
3. Take care of the bones and trimmings of the birds. Soup can
be made of them for dinner to-morrow.
