ABSTRACT
The kidney is loved by the mushroom scarce less tenderly than the egg. Rognons aux champignons, fragrant, rich, ravishing, may also be claimed by the happy midday hour. From remote ages dates the triumph of the mushroom, the majestic, magnificent mushroom. Over the mushrooms, first boiled on a quick fire, pour a gill of pure red wine, and the best Burgundy thus used will not be wasted; then scatter spices, mace and nutmeg, with a discreet hand; boil once more; pour the marvellous mixture upon five or six, or more, if wanted, yolks of eggs, hard-boiled. The reigning sultana in the mushroom's harem is the brilliant golden egg. "For white fowls of all sorts", Mrs. Glasse recommends her mushroom sauce, thus giving loose reins to the artist's fancy. The fowl may be boiled, and then rich with cream must be the sauce that redeems it from insipidity.
