or dripping, salt and pepper to taste, oatmeal for thickening, 2 quarts
of water.
_Mode_.--Chop the cabbage very fine, thicken the water with oatmeal, put
in the cabbage and butter, or dripping; season and simmer for 1-1/2
hour. It can be made sooner by blanching and mashing the greens, adding
any good liquor that a joint has been boiled in, and then further
thicken with bread or pounded biscuit.
_Time_--1-1/2 hour. _Average cost_, 1-1/2d. per quart.
_Seasonable_ all the year, but more suitable in winter.
_Sufficient_ for 8 persons.
THE SAVOY.--This is a close-hearted wrinkle-leaved cabbage,
sweet and tender, especially the middle leaves, and in season
from November to spring. The yellow species bears hard weather
without injury, whilst the _dwarf_ kind are improved and
rendered more tender by frost.
