RECIPE

 

 
  33. Beans and Bacon.

  Windsor beans should be served young, and fresh
gathered. Boil them in salt and water; when done, drain
them, and lay the bacon over the beans without any sauce.
The bacon should be fat, and nicely boiled. Send up
separately, in a sauce-boat, chopped parsley in melted
butter.
  Beans are likewise an excellent garnish to a ham ; serve
them plain around it. Duffin beans are a very good substitute
for Windsor, only skin them before boiling.
