Picklette and Apple Sauce.
Pass the first with the oyster pie, which is a course of itself; the apple sauce with the meat.
Chocolate Custard.
1 quart of milk.
5 eggs.
1 cup of sugar.
4 heaping tablespoonfuls of grated chocolate.
2 teaspoonfuls vanilla extract.
Scald the milk, rub the chocolate to a smooth paste in a little cold milk. Stir into the milk and cook two minutes in it. Beat up the yolks of the five eggs with the whites of two, and the sugar. Pour the hot mixture, gradually, upon them, stirring deeply. Turn into a buttered pudding-dish, and set in a dripping-pan of boiling water. Bake until firm. When “set” in the middle, spread quickly, without taking from the oven, with a méringue made by whipping the reserved whites stiff with a very little sugar. Bake until this is done. Eat cold.
