Chapter VII (18)

HALF A CALF’S HEAD BOILED should be cut in thin slices from 1 to 2, the knife passing down to the bone. The best part in the head is the throat sweetbread, which is situated at the thick part of the neck 3, and should be carved in slices from 3 to 4, and helped with the other parts. If the eye is wished for, force the point of the carving knife down on one side to the bottom of the socket, and cut it quite round. The palate or roof of the mouth is esteemed a great delicacy, and some fine lean will be found on the lower jaw, and nice gristly fat about the ear. The brains and tongue are generally sent to table on a separate dish; the centre slice of the tongue is considered the best.

TONGUE should be cut across nearly through the middle, at the line 1, and thin slices taken from each side; a portion of the fat, which is situated at the root of the tongue, being assisted with each.

THE END.
