And, by the way, what an endless amount of dainty edibles may be made
from chicken! Take a chicken custard, for instance; could anything be
daintier? Have a cupful of good clear chicken stock, and add to it an
equal quantity of cream; cook it for a few minutes, then put it into a
double boiler, and add the beaten yolks of three eggs and a little
salt. Cook until the mixture thickens a little, and then pour it into
custard cups to be served cold. It's an ungrateful, whimsical, and
grumpy sort of an invalid who doesn't reckon as a red-letter day the
time when he first tasted of a chicken custard. But whether or not
this is the case, you will have to keep right on shaking up your ideas
and producing other dishes.
