Dressed Raw Onions

Peel some onions, chop fine, put in water with a very little salt and let them soak
for an hour or so. Remove them, drain, place on a dish and pour over a mixture of
one-half gill of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls each of made mustard, chili vinegar and
sugar, and one tablespoonful of salt. Put a lump of ice on top and garnish the dish
with curled parsley. If the parsley is eaten after the onions it is supposed to take
the smell away.
