| <poem>Elder ladies, up earlier, had coffee before;
For themselves they've they’ve prepared now a tasty encore,
A concoction from heated, with cream thickened, beer,
In which curds, densely floating, of cream cheese appear.</poem>
While suspended around them big bunches hung drying
Of wild thyme, sage, cardoon, and of fennel and bennet,
Miss Hreczeha's Hreczeha’s home drugstore all hanging within it.
The cheese-house at the top was six yards square almost,
And all built on the top of a single thick post,
All not unlike a stork's stork’s nest.</poem>

Fry a little more, then stir in half a quart of good, clear stock. Add finely chopped lemon zest, bring to boil a few times, squeeze in lemon juice and sprinkle with pepper. Serve ''zrazy'' with this sauce.

| oryg = Wziąć masła ćwierć funta; usmażyć w niem drobno usiekanej szarlotty, albo cebuli dwie łyżki; gdy już cebula będzie miękka, dodać łyżkę stołową mąki; podsmażyć, ciągle mięszając i rozrobić bulionem klarownym, dobrym, którego potrzeba pół kwarty; wrzucić skórkę z cytryny drobno usiekaną; zagotować kilka razy, wcisnąć sok z cytryny i wsypać nieco pieprzu; i podać z tym sosem zraziki.
