I'm afraid that if Ron is still with us, his humor

"senior."

Toast
categories: historical, hangover remedy
serving: 1

1 ts butter
2 ts Worcester sauce
2 ts orange juice
1 pn cayenne
1 oz port
1 sl hot fresh made toast

In the top of a double boiler, melt the butter.
Stir in the liquid ingredients. Soak the toast
in this mixture.

Original: If the flavour of the anchovy be
disagreeable, let the patient try the 
following toast, which is similar to that
used with wildfowl. Melt a pat of butter over
hot water, stir in a dessertspoonful of
Worcester sauce, the same quantity of orange
juice, a pinch of cayenne, and about half a 
wine-glassful of old port. Soak the toast in
this mixture. The virtues of old port as a
restorative cannot be too widely known.
