 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      ounces        unsweetened chocolate
    1      quart         milk -- scalded
    2      cups          bread crumbs -- * see note
      1/3  cup           sugar
      1/4  cup           butter -- melted
    2      large         eggs -- slightly beaten
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
    1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
 
 
    * It is best to use crumbs from homemade bread. Preheat oven to 325
  degrees.  Butter a 1 1/2 or 2 quart baking dish. Break the chocolate
  into bits and melt in the scalded milk, stirring until smooth.  Add
  the bread crumbs and set aside to cool. When lukewarm, add remaining
  ingredients.   Mix well, pour into prepared dish and bake for about 50
  minutes or until set. Soft as a pillow with a full, light,
  chocolate-pudding taste.  Serve this with real whipped cream, not the
  artificial whipped cream. From Fannie Farmer cookbook--
