Lamb chops are tedious, being small, but make a choice dish for a Sunday breakfast. As, in order to make a chop worth having of the ribs it is necessary to cut two ribs to each, take out one bone and leave all the meat on the other, there can be but few, to serve to the most honorably select, the main dependence for quantity is in cutting up the entire loin and perhaps the leg. Flatten with the cleaver. Trim and shape all as near like rib chops as may be. Cut little pieces of buttered toast very thin and in pear shape. Place one in the dish, a broiled chop leaning upon it, another piece of toast and another chop - all on an end aslant in the dish - and garnish with parsley or cress or young seed-bed celery.
