Cut a cabbage in half, and with a sharp knife shave it down very finely. Make a dressing of one egg well beaten, half a gill of vinegar, salt to taste, and a teaspoonful of butter. Beat the egg light, and add to it the vinegar, salt, and butter. As soon as the egg is thick, take it off the fire, set it away to cool - then pour it over the cabbage, and mix it well together. Some prefer a little sugar in the egg and vinegar.

Hot Slaw

Cut the cabbage in half, and shave it very finely. Put it into a stew-pan, with a piece of butter, and salt to the taste. Pour in just enough water to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Cover it closely, and let it stew. Stir it frequently, and when it is quite tender, add a little vinegar, and serve it hot.
