PORK, SCRAMBLED (an American dish)

Soak a pound of salt pork to freshen it. Drain it, cut it into pieces about an inch square; fry these in hot fat, and move them about that they may be equally cooked. When they are almost done enough, stir in with them from six to twelve well-beaten eggs, and beat all quickly together. When the eggs are set, turn the mixture upon a hot dish, and send boiled, baked, or roasted potatoes to table with it. If the pork gives out a good deal of fat whilst it is being fried, pour this off before dishing the meat. Time, a quarter of an hour. Probable cost, pork, 9d. to 10d. per pound. Sufficient for four or five persons.
