Cod Sound, Boiled

Cod sounds are much liked by many persons, and may always be procured salted. They are convenient when kept in store in country houses, though, on account of the necessary soaking, they cannot be served in a hurry. Put them into plenty of cold water, and let them remain in it all night, then scrape and rub off the dark skin with a cloth, wash them thoroughly, and put them into a stewpan with equal parts of milk and water, and boil them very gently until tender. Be careful to remove the scum as it rises. Serve them on a hot napkin, with egg sauce. Time to boil, three-quarters of an hour. Probable cost, 6d. per pound. One pound will be enough for four persons.
