ONION OMELET. (See OMELET, ONION.)

ONION PORRIDGE (a country remedy for a cold in the head). Peel a large Spanish onion, divide it into four, and put it into a saucepan with half a salt-spoonful of salt, two ounces of butter, and a pint of cold water. Let it simmer gently until it is quite tender, then pour it into a heated bowl, dredge a little pepper over it, and eat it as hot as possible just before going to bed. Time to boil the onion, about half an hour. Probable cost, 4d. Sufficient for one person.
