Divide the bananas in regular pieces; arrange them in slices on your
compote dish, one slice leaning against the other in a circle. Sprinkle
them with sugar. Squeeze the juice of an orange and of half a lemon--this
would be sufficient for six bananas--and pour it over the bananas. Cover
the dish and leave it for two hours in a cold place. A mold of cornflour
or of ground rice may be eaten with this.

RIZ CONDE

For one and one-half pints of milk half a breakfast-cupful of rice. Let
it boil with sugar and vanilla; strain the whole. Add one-half pint of
cream, well beaten, five leaves of gelatine (melted). Mix the whole and
pour in a mold which has been wet. When turned out of the mold, put
apricots or other fruit on the top. Pour the juice over all.

CHOCOLATE CREAM

10 leaves of gelatine, well melted and sifted.
