After they have been thoroughly drained _upside down_, they should be placed on the dish, flower part uppermost, and placed together as much as possible to look like one large brocoli.

If sauce is poured over them, the sauce should be sufficiently thick to be spread, and every part of the flower should be covered.

Half a teaspoonful of chopped blanched parsley may be sprinkled over the top, and improves the appearance of the dish.
N.B .-- We would particularly call attention to the importance of draining brocoli and cauliflower very thoroughly, especially when any sauce is served with the brocoli.

When the dish is cut into, nothing looks more disagreeable than to see the white sauce running off the brocoli into green water at the bottom of the dish.
BROCOLI GREENS .-- The outside leaves of brocoli should not be thrown away, but eaten.

Too often they are trimmed off at the greengrocer's or at the market, and, we presume, utilised for the purpose of feeding cattle.
