Boiled Cod
14. Soak a dried cod for three hours in cold water; scrape and wash it very clean; then put it on to boil in as much cold water as will cover it. Let it boil half an hour. Drain it on your fish dish, and serve it with mashed potatoes, drawn butter, or egg sauce, and eggs boiled hard.
The castor should contain cayenne pepper, mustard, sweet oil, pepper, vinegar, and catsup.
