A WELSH RABBIT
ON M|NCE PIE

n. Y. Sun: There is no longer any
special novelty in serving a Welsh rab-
bit on piping hot mince pie, as a sub
stitute for toast. For years the cooks
at the old chop houses in New York
had been serving a dish that they call
ed a slip on and this was nothing
less than melted English cheese pour
ed over hot mince pie, and experts who
had Systematically tested the effects of
this combination did not hesitate to
affirm that the presence of the cheese
aided rather than deferred the process
ses of digestion
To season this cheese, therefore, was
but a short step in the direction of Gull
nary eccentricity, novel as it seemed.
A writer in the Bohemian, describing
some OF the Welsh rabbits perpetuated
by well known people, say that Walter
McDougall, the cartoonist, is respons-
ible for one which is seemingly ira
tional.' Mr.. McDougal takes either a
haddock, small cod or a bluefish and
stuffs il with a delicious dressing COM
posed of bread crumbs, minced onions
and finely chopped fried bacon, moist
ened with melted butter and seasoned
with salt, pepper and summer savory.
Carefully stuffed and properly sewed
the fish is baked in a pan with a little
water, several bits of butter being
scattered over it. During the process
OF cooking it is basted frequently and
when ii is done and the thread remov-
ed il is served with a Welsh rabbit
poured over il.
The late John Chamberlin once con-
hi
cess as a rabbit maker was due TO the
fact that after he had grated his cheese
into bowl he added all the other in
gredients-the butter, mustard. pep
per. paprika and two tablespoonfuls OF
cream TO each person TO be served
rubbing them all smooth, or to a uni
form paste, before transferring the
mixture 10 the saucepan in which II
was TO be melted.

ale a saltspoonful or soda is es.1Sd De-
