to cook ham, because they did not boil

spoon "A great artist once told the VIII
ter never to serve ham under one year
old 1T was then to be soaked all night in
soft water, and if possible, running water;
1t was then to be put on the fire in large
pot OF cold water, and slowly boiled at
least twenty minutes for every pound it
might weigh and as for skiuning ham;
ne held 1t to be au outrage, a sacrifice OF
quality to mere appearances, which no
sensible man shonld be guilty Of II
your ham is to be served cold, as is al
ways done in Europe, it should be soused

cold arrests the flow and escape of the
