This is a favorite dinner-company dish, generally arranged in a circle
around green pease. They should be neatly trimmed, the bones scraped,
then rolled in a little melted butter, and carefully broiled. When done,
rub more butter over them, and season them with pepper and salt. Slip
little paper ruffles (see page 61) over the ends of the bones. They may
be served with a centre of almost any kind of vegetable, such as a
smooth hemisphere of mashed potatoes or spinach, or with beans,
cauliflowers or stuffed baked tomatoes, or with a tomato-sauce.
