either in the middle or all round. 1095—TOURNEDOS FORESTIÈRE Season the tournedos, and _sauté_ them. Set them on crusts fried in butter. Surround them with alternate heaps of noodles and potatoes cut into large dice and tossed in butter. The potatoes may also be placed in the midst of the tournedos with the noodles all round, or vice versâ. 1096—TOURNEDOS GABRIELLE Make a preparation from the white meat of a chicken and truffles—both cut into dice and cohered with the necessary quantity of somewhat light “Duchesse-potatoes” paste. With this preparation make as many small quoit-shaped _croquettes_ as there are tournedos, and fry them while the latter are being cooked. Season the tournedos, and fry them with oil and butter in equal quantities. Dish them, in the form of a crown, on the prepared _croquettes_, and on each tournedos set a fine roundel of poached marrow and one slice of truffle. Around the tournedos arrange some very small, braised, and well-trimmed lettuces. 1097—TOURNEDOS HENRI IV Grill the tournedos, and set them on crusts fried in butter. Round the edge of each tournedos lay a thread of Béarnaise sauce, and on top of each an artichoke-bottom garnished with very small potatoes (of the size of hazel-nuts) cooked in butter. N.B.—Instead of putting the sauce on the edge of the tournedos, it may be served separately. 1098—TOURNEDOS JUDIC Season the tournedos; fry them in butter, and dish them in the form of a crown on crusts fried in butter. On each tournedos set a crown of truffle slices, with a cock’s kidney in the centre, and surround with braised, trimmed, and quartered lettuces. 1099—TOURNEDOS LAKMÉ Prepare (1) as many small tartlet-crusts as there are tournedos; (2) the same number of grilled, medium-sized mushrooms; (3) a garnish of one tablespoonful of broad beans with cream per tartlet. Season the tournedos, and fry them in clarified butter. Dish them in the form of a crown, each on a tartlet garnished with broad beans, and set a grilled mushroom on each tournedos. 1100—TOURNEDOS LESDIGUIÈRES Select onions sufficiently large to admit of placing the tournedos upon them,
