While this is cooking, chop the uncooked fish ver}' fine, put in a bowl, add 24 almonds blanched and chopped, 1 mashed clove of garlic, 1 level teaspoon of salt, 1 saltspoon of white pepper, ^2 saltspoon of ground mace; mix well, form into balls size of English wal- nut, put strained stock over fire in a sauce pan ; when it reaches the boiling point drop in the balls, draw to one side of fire, cover, and let cook gently 20 minutes. Lift them out with a skimmer and stand at once in a cool place. Beat three eggs until creamy, and stand over hot water and add gradually the boiling stock, which should measure about 24 pint. When the mixture is like jelly, remove, strain through a fine sieve, and cool quickly. At serving time add juice of 2 lemons, 1 table- spoon tarragon vinegar. Garnish dish with tiny hearts of lettuce, quarters of lemon, and parsley ; roll balls in sauce, and pile pyramid fashion in center. Send the remaining sauce to the table in sauce boat.
