I'm fairly open about unfamiliar cuisine, but if I'd have been Melissa waking up to this breakfast in Bryony's room, I think I would have thrown up. To quote Melissa, "Didn't Victorians make normal food?"
Cod Sounds (Air Bladders)
and Tongues
Cod sounds and tongues
Milk
Butter
Flour
Boiled eggs, cold
Soak them for 4 hours in blood-warm water, then scrape off
the skin, cut them up, and stew them in a little milk until tender. Just before
taking up, stir in butter, and a little flour paste, and scatter cold, boiled
eggs over them.
