FISH IX \KW GARB AS BREAKFAST DISH. Ti — LONDON, April 28. To-day Gazette" is able to announce the names of the prize-winners in the comptition or organised for an original breakfast dish. ± . , ~ The flood of entries sent in testified to the remarkable interest British housewives are taking in the "Westminster Gazette's" quest for a new breakfast dish. This was undertaken after a correspondent had written in, pointing out that the English breakfast is a monotonous round of fish, porridge and bacon and eggs. Expert Judge. M Raymond Monbiot .the restaurant manager of the Trocadero, has, with the consent of Messrs Lyons and Co. judged the entries sent in. The first prize of £5 for the most original and satisfying breakfast dish M. Monbiot has awarded to Mrs. E. E. Robertson, Glanton House, Clan ton NorthumberlandMrs Roberston's recipe is really good and well adapted to the breakfast table," M., Monbiot declared. 'lt is not complicated ,and would have an agreeable taste ,and it is cheap and quickly made. "' "The dish is a complete novelty, as I have never before heard of stuffed herrings being cooked." The winning recipe.is as follows: Take a large herring and scale and bone it. Boil an egg hard, chop it up while hot with a grating of cheese and a teaspoonful of anchovy sauce; season with pepper and salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Spread the mixture inside the • herring, roll it up and tie with a thread. Then roll in oatmeal, brush over with beaten egg. Fry in boiling fat in frying basket for five or six minutes and serve hoit. Drain on paper before serving. "The rest of the recipes were or a surprisingly high standard,' 'said M. Monbiot, "and contain some really good ideas. Unfortunately a few people forgot .that the purpose of the competition was to get away from eggs and bacon and fish cooked in the conventional way, and they incorporated these in their recipes.
