STAP

2 Haddock Heads
2 Haddock Liver
Salt
Pepper

~ The fish must be perfectly fresh. Wash the livers, put them into a small jar (a jam jar will do), cover with paper, and set in a pan of boiling water. Let it cook for an hour. Clean, wash and gently boil the haddock heads; or boil the whole fish and then cut off the heads. Remove all the flesh from these, and add to the livers. Mix thoroughly, season, and dish neatly. Serve, piping hot, as an accompaniment to the fish.

BUTTERED PEAS

Peas
Mint
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Sugar

~ Use only young tender green peas for this dish. The smaller the sweeter. Melt a good piece of butter in a saucepan, put in the peas, add a sprig or two of mint, cover, and cook slowly over a gentle heat for about an hour, shaking occasionally  When half cooked, add a sprinkling of salt and pepper and a very little sifted sugar. Remove the mint, and serve very hot.
