To begin with the savory list: Some fine morning when you are to have
for breakfast just an appetizing bit of broiled salted herring, try
cooking some eggs in this way--Put half a pint of cream into a
saucepan and let it boil. Stir into it five well-beaten eggs, seasoned
with salt and pepper. Let this mixture curdle, then turn it out on to
a hot dish and brown it quickly with a salamander; and you'll be at a
loss to know whether it's the herring that makes the egg taste so
well, or if it's the egg that makes the herring so remarkably
palatable.
