When served alone it is generally dipped in salt and eaten with bread-and-butter, but it is very useful to mix with other kinds of salad.
HOP SALAD .-- In Germany a very nice salad is made from young hops, which are grown very extensively in America and Germany, as English brewers are well aware.

The hops are picked when quite young, before they get leafy; they are then boiled till nearly tender.

They can be dressed in the English fashion with oil and vinegar, or in the German fashion with vinegar and sugar.
ONION SALAD .-- Few people are aware of what an excellent salad can be made from the remains of cold boiled Spanish onions.

Spanish onions can generally be bought at a penny a pound.

They are mild in flavour, very wholesome, and contain a great deal of nourishment.
