Required: Six small wafer biscuits. Six thin slices of smoked sausage. About two inches of cucumber. A little oil and vinegar. Chili and gherkin. A little butter.

Slightly butter the biscuits, peel the cucumber and cut it in slices about as thick as a shilling; put these on a plate, sprinkle them well with salad oil and vinegar, turning them about in it. Lay a slice on each biscuit; on this put a slice of smoked sausage.

Cut the chili and gherkin in long, thin strips, and arrange these in a trellis-work across each slice of sausage. Arrange on a lace paper.
