1/2 pound dry cheese, grated fine. 1 cup dry bread-crumbs.

4 eggs, well beaten.

1 cup minced meat - one-third ham - two-thirds fowL

1 cup milk and one of good gravy - veal or fowl.

1 teaspoonful butter, and a pinch of soda in the milk.

Season with pepper and a very little salt.

Stir the milk into the beaten eggs, then the bread-crumbs, seasoning, meat, lastly, the cheese. Beat up well, but not too long, else the milk may, in spite of the soda, curdle.

Butter a mould; pour in the pudding, cover, and boil three-quarters of an hour steadily. Turn out upon a hot dish, and pour the gravy over it.
