Croquettes

There are certain preparations called croquettes made either of meat, fish, crustaceans, vegetables, or eggs, cut up into small dice, and frequently mixed with mushrooms cut the same size as the meats, and then mingled with certain sauces. Croquettes are made of various shapes such as pear, cylindricals, balls, or cakes. These croquettes are breaded in eggs and bread-crumbs, and are fried in very hot frying fat until they attain a fine golden color, they must be served as soon as done. Dress on folded napkins decorating with a bunch of parsley on top; to be served without any sauce, therefore the preparation should be mingled with a light, gelatinous or else well buttered sauce.
