RECIPE

2. Anchovy Canapé.
Procure a number of farthing rolls (any baker will make
them to order). Cut these rolls into equal halves, scoop
out all the crumb, and place the crust to dry in the screen.
Meanwhile, chop five hard-boiled eggs sufficient for the number
of canapés to be filled ; chup also some tarragon, chervil
and chives ; and prepare some fillets or strippets of cleaned
anchovies. Put the chopped eggs and herbs into a basin,
season with salad oil and tarragon vinegar, pepper and
salt ; Mix together, and with this fill up the prepared
crusts ; ornament them by placing the fillets of anchovies
over their surface in the fashion of lattice-work ; dish up
the canapés on to napkin.
