“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

In a small bowl, combine the milk, cream and eggs; beat with a rotary
egg beater. Add the salt, pepper and onions. Sprinkle half of the
grated cheese in the bottom of the pastry shell. Arrange the
fiddlehead tips over the cheese, then add the bacon, breaking it into
bite-sized pieces. Pour in the milk mixture, add the rest of the
cheese, and grate fresh nutmeg over the top.
Bake at 375 F. for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the
custard comes out clean.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
