EGG PLANT.
When Properly Cooked It is Delightful Dish-EgG Plant
 CrOquettes,

Egg plants, like a great many meIn- bers of the nightshade family, have an acrid flavor. The same quality in the berries of the climbing bittersweet give it it's familiar name, sweet taste be- ing said to follow the bitter. This quail ity has also given the entire genus nightshade the reputation of being pol sonous, and for years prevented the wholesome tomato from being used as vegetable. In the tomato this flavor IS not found in the fruit, but the odof of the foliage suggests the odor of the po- tato and all the rest of the genus. The acrid flavor of the fruit of the egg plant must always be removed before It IS cooked in any way. There are two ways of doing this: s:~one is to parholl 1t in salt and water, and the other IS to rub with salt the slices of egg plant, which should be cut about half an inch thick Lay them in a bowl of water and let them stand an hour. The slices may be rinsed, seasoned with a little pepper, dipped in the yolk of an egg beaten up with a tablespoonful of water and then dipped in dry sifted bread crumbs. The egg plant may now be fried in boiling hot fat, enough to cover the slices, or it may be broiled like beefsteak. For broiling, the slices can be simply seasoned with little pepper after draining them out of the salt and water and dipped in sweet oil. They should be broiled five minutes on each side
 The following is a good rule for cook ing egg plant croquettes: Peel and cut into small pieces one egg plant. Place it in salt and water and let it stand an hour. Drain it. Cook it until it is tender in fresh water, drain and mash it and drain it thoroughly again. Take two beaten eggs, to which half a cup full of bread crumbs and tablespoonful of melted butter have been added. Stir into the cooked egg plant. Make the preparation into croquettes and let II stand until you are ready to cook 1t It ought to stand at least half an hour. and may stand longer without any in | jury. When you are ready to cook it roll the croquettes in the beaten yolk of an egg and then in dry, sifted bread crumbs, and fry them in very hot fat until they are fine brown like other | croquettes.-N.
