Instructions

They should be as fresh from the vine as possible, few vegetables being more unwholesome when long gathered.
- 2
As soon as they are brought in lay them in cold water.
- 3
Just before they are to go to the table take them out, pare them and slice them into a pan of fresh cold water.
- 4
When they are all sliced, transfer them to a deep dish; season them with a little salt and black pepper, and pour over them some of the best vinegar.
- 5
You may mix with them a small quantity of sliced onions, not to be eaten, but to communicate a slight flavor of onion to the vinegar.
