Baby Cabbages Let
Their Minds Wander

1t is said that Brussels Sprouts
are the result of cabbage plant
that didn't keep its mind on its
work and scattered its efforts.
Whether this be true or not, the
fact remains that it would take a
good many dozens of these minia-
ture cabbage-lets to make one real
grown-up cabbage. But for sheer
delicacy of flavor and rare good
ness, even a whole, big cabbage
can hardly compete with the
dainty sprout. Especially is this
true when the frost has had a
chance to touch up the penetrat-
ing flavor of the sprouts. Then,
select the small, compact sprouts,
you pick off the outside leaves,
wash, blanch in water to which a
pinch of soda has been added and
little salt included for flavor
and, when cooked tender, drain,
press dry, saute in butter for five
minutes, and then season with
salt, cayenne and little lemon
juice, Serve, garnished with a
sprig or two of green or fried par
sley and let nature take its course.
