_How to prepare._--Soak them in warm water for a few minutes, then wash
and clean them well, and scrape the hair off, if any.
_Boiled._--When prepared, you throw them in boiling water for two
minutes and take from the fire; add four onions for four ears, one
carrot, salt and pepper; leave just water enough to cover the whole, and
when cooked, drain. Serve them on a _puree_ of beans or of lentils.
_The same, broiled._--When cleaned, prepared, and cooked as above, just
dip them in beaten eggs, roll them in bread-crumbs, place on the
gridiron and on the fire, broil for about two or three minutes; then
serve them with a _maitre d'hotel_ sauce.
