20.--Hungarian Chicken.
Joint a fowl as for fricassee; put it on the fire in enough cold water
to cover it; bring it to a boil slowly, and cook until tender. Unless

it has been simmering about an hour put in a sliced onion, 2 stalks of
celery, 3 sprigs of parsley, and a teaspoonful of paprika. When the
chicken is done, arrange it in a dish, add to the gravy salt to taste
and the juice of 1/2 a lemon and pour it over the chicken.--From "The
