GARNISH in the fnul touch. It should plenar the eye and tempi. the appetite.

No right-minded person would send a piece of boiled beef to table without its attractive surroundings of carrots, onions, and dumplings, int other dishes might be denied even that little green sprig of parsley, watercress, or endive, or that neat slice of lemon, any of which can give an air of freshes and distinction to the plainest dish.

Brighten up the dull Meals

Then there are those triangles of toast which relieve the flatness of n hash, those neat and golden cubes of fried bread which seem to me indispensable with a thick satin, mud those forcement balls which lessen the tedium of such things as veul nad rabbit for those who fund them ordinarily dull.

There are fish quenelles, shrinips and prawns which ornament dishes of fish, to any nothing of the sliced cucumber which almost tou persistently flirts with the salmon.

There are the infant sausages which cling to the skirts of poultry, the thin curled bacon and the small croquettes of ham and tongue.

All dumplinge, forcement balls, and the like should be small and shapely.

The amount of vegetables should be in proportion to the Mize of the dish. Their colours should form a pleasing contrast to the main theme.
