2 pounds salt codfish 4 quarts diced raw potato 1 pound fat salt pork 6 or 8 egg yolks

1 teaspoon pepper 4 quarts hot milk

2 cups barley flour or 1 cup cornstarch

Salt to taste

Cut codfish in half-inch pieces, cover with cold water, bring slowly to boil, and simmer an hour, or until soft; drain.

Cut potatoes in half or three-fourths inch cubes, and steam until soft but not broken.

Cut pork in half-inch cubes, cook until golden brown; remove from fat. Pour off all but two cups of the pork fat, add flour, and when smooth add milk, stirring constantly ; cook thirty minutes in double boiler. Add part of hot sauce to well-beaten yolks, stirring hard all the time, then put back into double boiler for five minutes. Add pork cubes, potato, and codfish. Serve very hot. Salt mackerel may be used in place of cod.
