RECIPE

 

  
 
8. Cauliflowers a la Mayonnaise.
  The cauliflowers, thoroughly washed and cleared of their
leaves, must be put into boiling-water, butter, and salt; when
they are firm, take the saucepan from the fire and let them
cool in the water. When they are cold, drain them, and
put them into oil, vinegar, salt, and a mignonette to soak for
two hours. Dish them in the form of a pyramid as high as
you can make it; mask them with a white mayonnaise, and
place round them a border of aspic jelly, cut in triangles.
