Very soon we shall have currants in abundance, and it has always
seemed to me that when one is to have ham for breakfast they go
particularly well for a first course. And the ham is entitled to
different treatment in summer from that which it receives in the cold
weather. For instance, just now if you have slices of toast and
sprinkle lightly over them grated ham mixed with grated cheese, and
then put them in a hot oven till the cheese is dissolved, your family
will be your debtor to the extent of one new and distinct
gastronomical emotion.
