PARSLEY SHOULD FOLLOW ONIONS

Also, If a Dyspeptic, Spread Melted ChtfM Upon Mince Pie- “ Parsley,” said the restaurateur, “removes the smell of onions.” He frowned portentiously at a waiter who had dropped a plate of ice cream on the red carpet. “Excuse me, won’t you?” he asked, and went and whispered something passionately in the waiter’s ear. On his return he resumed: “Yes, you may eat a bushel of onions, and a little parsley taken afterward will leave you so that Sherlock Holmes himself would be unable to say what you had been feeding on. That is the truth, and I more people were aware of it. For onions, which are the most wholesome things In the world, would be as popular as they are wholesome if this matter of the parsley were more widely known. “Another thing.” went on the man, according to the Philadelphia Record, “old cheese melted slightly makes mince pie digestible. You may be a confirmed dyspeptic, but if you will spread on the top crust of your mince pie a thin layer of rich old English cheese I promise that you may eat the pastry without any aftermath of remorse and pain.”
