s,$=5. ASPARAGUS. 81. .
Large or full grown asparagus is
the best. Before you begin to prepare
it for cooking, set on the fire pot with
plenty of water, and sprinkle into it q
spoonful of salt. The asparagus should
be all Of the same size. Scrape the
stalks till they are perfectly clean and
white; cut them all Of equal length
and short, so as to leave them but two
or three inches below the green part.
To serve up asparagus with long stalks
is, now becoming obsolete. AS you
scrape them throw them into a pan of
water, then tie them in small bundles
with. bars or tape. When the water is
boiling fast put in the asparagus and
boil it an hour; if old, longer. When
nearly done toast a large slice Of bread,
first cutting off the crust, dip in the
asparagus water; lay in dish, drain
the asparagus, place it on the toast and
serve melted butter with it.
