  2. two large ornamented quenelles;
  3. truffles fashioned like olives;
  4. pieces of milt dipped in Villeroy sauce, treated à l’anglaise and fried when about to dish up;
  5. small gudgeon or smelts treated similarly to the milt, and trussed crayfish cooked in court-bouillon.
  6. The sauce is a Genevoise, made from the reduced cooking-liquor of the darne.
  7. Dishing Up.—Surround the darne by the garnishes enumerated, arranging them tastefully, and pierce it with two hatelets, each garnished with a small truffle, an ornamented quenelle, and a crayfish.
  8. Send the sauce to the table separately.
