The Home Kitchen
By JEANETTE YOUNG NORTON.
An Adventure in Foreign Cookery.

"A LMOST all cooks like to try
~ new dishes. To experiment
along foreign cookery lines is
always interesting. All nations have
s~pecialties that tourists do not lind
at the hotels and restaurants. Like
ourselves. they have a number Of
honey dishes that are only served in
the real homes OF the people. We
will start with two Danish soup
recipes.
Rye Bread Soup.
Take three cupfulS OF stale rye
bread and cover il with a quart OF
water. Soak two minutes. then
squeeze put some OF the water and
prt the bread through a sieve. Add
to the bread and liquid two quarts OF
near beer. a stick OF cinnamon. a
thinly sliced lemon. with pips re-
moved, and allow the soup TO boil for
ten minutes. Sweeten TO taste and
serve hot with whipped cream on
top.
Sage Soup.
Put five tablespoonfuls OF sago in
to a saucepan with two quarts OF
water. Add the peel OF a fresh lemon
and boil gently for fifteen minutes.
In the meantime. beat the yolks OF
two eggs with three tablespoonfuls
OF ugar. Add a wineglass OF home
made wine. stir into the soup. and
strain into the tureen. or the plates.
Cuban Fish Dish.
Take six fish fillets, red snapper.
salmon or bluefish. Lay them in n
shallow. well-buttered dish. dust with
salt and pepper, pour rel a cupful
and a half OF smooth w-ell-seasoned
tomato sauce, sprinkle with grated
cheese and bake twenty minutes in a
medium oven.
Italian Fish Pudding.
Boil two pounds OF fresh goldfish,
fake. remove skin and bones. Take
a cupful and a half OF thin cream
and add to 1t two tablespoonfuls OF
melted butter. a half teaspoonful OF
dry mustard, a little sugar. salt and
pepper and enough flour TO make u
like a thin porridge. Cook. stirring
smooth, two TO five minutes. then
