About a pound of lean ham or bacon must be well soaked.
Pare away the under yellow skin, and boil it an hour.
Meanwhile, have boiled some kidney beans, quite soft. They
must have been soaked the night before. Mash half of
them through a coarse sieve, and add them to the boiling
bn-con, with an onion, or chives, celery, chervil, etc. Take
out the bacon, peel the rind off; cut up the meat into thin
slices ; return this, with the unbruised beans, to the pot,
and give all a boil up ,together. The same quantity of
fresh or salted pork, unsmoked, is, by some, preferred.-
Good, satisfying, and cheap.
