RECIPE

 

  
  
1. Anchovies, Norwegian Fashion.
SCRAPE, wipe, and bone twelve or more Norwegian an-
chovies ; trim the fillets neatly ; have ready two hard-boiled
eggs, chop the whites and yolks separately, cover the bottom
of one or two small round glass dishes with a layer of
the chopped egg, forming a neat design ; sprinkle and season
with a little chopped parsley, chervil, a little sweet oil and
vinegar, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Place the anchovy
fillets over the top in the shape of lattice-work, ornament
with fancifully cut slices of lemon and hard-boiled egg
round the sides, sprinkle with a little chopped parsley,
and serve.
