Onion tanks are a flexible open-top storage tank designed to help locations successfully store a range of potable and non-potable liquids. Great for any location in need of temporary storage, these tanks can be quickly moved and deployed on site. Their fast set up and easy fill has made them the ideal choice for fire fighters, military operations, spa cleaning, or other areas in need of short term storage.

Codfish pie. Put the fish in cold water to soak, the night before wanted; then boil it well, and pick it into small pieces; set it on a fish drainer to get cold. Boil four eggs hard, peel and slice them very thin; the same quantity of onion sliced thin. Line the bottom of a pie-dish with a layer of potatoes slices thin; then a layer of onions, then of fish, and of eggs, and so on till the dish is full. Season each layer with a little pepper, then mix a tea-spoonful of mustard and a little mushroom catsup in a gill of water, put in the dish... Cover it with puff-paste, and bake in one hour.
