Some eat it with Ale, others with Cream, Milk, and the like, but I think it most beneficial to be eaten with Bread only. It removes Obstructions, strength∣ens the Stomach, cools the Body, openeth the Pas∣sages, and is excellent good for Breakfast in all hot Climates: This is good more-especially for weak Stomach'd People, and those whose Breast, and Passages are obstructed by though phlegmy matter.
