Cucumber Sauce. (No. 1.)

Peel and chop one large or two small cucumbers. There should be a cupful of the mince. Turn it into a colander, let the liquid drain from it for a few minutes, and put it into a bowl that has been rubbed lightly with garlic. Add a tiny pinch of soda to half a pint of cream, whip it to a froth. Season the cucumbers with half a teaspoonful of onion-juice, salt, a dash of cayenne pepper, and one teaspoonful of sharp vinegar. Mix the cucumber and whipped cream together and serve immediately.

This is delicious with fish.
