1910-1920 :: Swiss Chard with Bacon

Ingredients

• Swiss Chard
• Bacon
• Hardboiled eggs
• Vinegar
• Hot Water

Instructions

1. Wash and pick over Swiss Chard.
2. Cook in boiling salted water, using just enough water to prevent Chard from burning.
3. Drain and chop fine. Arrange in a mound on a chop platter, surround (crown fashion) with “hard-boiled” eggs cut in halves lengthwise, having cut side out.
4. Cut a slice off the large end of each egg so that they will stay in place.
5. Cut five slices of bacon in narrow strips crosswise. Try out one-third cup.
6. Add one-fourth cup vinegar, diluted with one-fourth cup hot water, pour while hot over the Swiss Chard, scattering the scraps of bacon over top of mound.
