390—Mock Tomatoes

Select some about the size of a walnut, and peel them carefully. Press them in a piece of linen, and set them to No. 168, Cooked Marinade for Venison for half an hour in oil and vinegar. Then stick a small piece of parsley stalk into each tomato, in imitation of the stalk, and surround it with little leaves made from green butter by means of a small piping-bag.
