About a pound of cod which has been soaked over night, then boiled, picked into fine flakes.

1 cup milk.

2 table-spoonfuls butter. Bunch of sweet herbs. Juice of half a lemon.

1 table-spoonful corn-starch. Pepper to taste.

Heat the milk to boiling, stir in the butter, then the corn-starch; stir until it thickens, when add the fish; pepper and cook slowly fifteen minutes. Turn out upon a dish, strew thickly with chopped green herbs - chiefly parsley; squeeze the lemon-juice over all and serve.

Mashed potato is an improvement to this dish.
