Pickled Green Walnuts

Cerneaux Confits

These walnuts come ready prepared; serve on side dishes with a little of their liquor.

Walnuts preserved in sugar and drained, then laid in a vessel with vinegar, cloves and ginger make an excellent hors-d'oeuvre.

HOT SIDE DISHES (Hors-d'Œuvre Chauds).

The hors-d'oeuvre is composed of certain dishes served after the soup, somewhat taking the place of those formerly called "flying dishes," for they did not appear on the table, but were passed directly to the guests.
