MOTHER EVE’S PUDDING
RECIPE IN RHYME If you want a good pudding, To teach you I’m willing, Take two pennyworth of eggs, When twelve for a shilling. And of the same fruit That Eve had once chosen— Well pared, cored and chopped. At least half a dozen. Six ounces of bread (Let your maid eat the crust); The crumbs must be grated As fine as the dust. Six ounces of currants, From the stones you must sort, Lest they break out your teeth. And spoil all your sport. Six ounces of sugar, Won’t make it too sweet; Some salt and some nutmeg Will make it complete. Three hours let it boil Without any flutter, Then serve it up With sugar and butter. The only complaint housewives will have is that eggs are no longer twelve a shilling!
