The legs, for boiling, should not be black.—Pick nicely, wash, singe,
truss, and flour it—put it into boiling water, and _simmer gently_. A
middling fowl will take forty minutes. Serve with parsley and butter,
oyster, lemon, liver, or celery sauce.
Neither parsley and butter, liver and parsley, celery, onion, caper,
curry, nor other sauce should be poured over boiled meats, but sent
up separately in a boat.
