As you scrape them, throw them into a bowl of cold water, in which is

mixed a table-spoonful of vinegar. When all are scraped, cut them either

into half-inch lengths, or lengthwise into four pieces, which again cut

into three-inch lengths; throw them into boiling water, in which are

half a tea-spoonful of salt and one-third of a tea-spoonful of sugar to

one quart of water. When done, drain, and mix them with white sauce,

either drawn butter or a simple Bechamel.
