One large white cabbage, fifty small cucumbers (gherkins), five quarts small
string beans, eight small carrots, one dozen sticks celery, five red peppers,
three green peppers, two heads cauliflower; chop fine, soak over night in salt
and water; wash well, drain thoroughly, and pour over them hot vinegar spiced

well covered jars, or seal in cans while hot.
Fried frogs legs.
The most popular way of cooking is frying, either plain, breaded or with an egg
batter, the same as oysters, but longer, as they should never be underdone. They

The French were the first among European nations to use frogs legs as food.
Their use has become quite general in America and they are now ranked as
delicacies. Only the hind legs and quarters are used.
