Mock Fish.

Cut some scraped salsify into inch lengths, dropping them as done into water acidulated either with vinegar or lemon juice, and, soaking them in it for an hour; drain carefully, barely cover with boiling salted water, cook gently until soft, and strain. Having made a thick, white sauce with the liquor mingled with an equal quantity of scalded milk, thickened with butter and flour in the usual proportions and seasoned agreeably with salt, pepper and lemon Juice, put the salsify into fireproof shells, mask with . the sauce, strew lightly with bread crumbs and a few knobs of butter, and brown in a quick oven. Or, if preferred, serve in cases of puff paste.
