Indian Meal Gruel
One quart of boiling water; stir into this one spoonful of flour and two of Indian meal, mixed with a little cold water. Boil thirty minutes. Season with salt, and strain. Use sugar and cream if you choose. If flour is not liked, use another spoonful of meal instead.
Note
Page 82, recipe is actually titled “Coffee, No” and is also in the index that way. The assumption is that it came from one of Miss Parloa’s other cookbooks and had a number there. Since we can’t know which, it was retained as printed.
Page 91, “Diarrhoea” changed to “Diarrhœa” to match usage in text (Water for Diarrhœa)
