The funeral _bak'd meats_
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
SHAKSPEARE.
Boil some potatoes, peel, and pound them in a mortar with two small
onions; moisten them with milk and an egg beaten up, add a little salt
and pepper. Season slices of beef or mutton-chops with salt and pepper,
and more onion, if the flavor is approved. Rub the bottom of a
pudding-dish with butter, and put a layer of the mashed potatoes, which
should be as thick as a batter, and then a layer of meat, and so on
alternately till the dish is filled, ending with potatoes. Bake it in an
oven for an hour.
