juice, cornstarch and a spoonful of Portwine, and pour it over the meat, which

a small piece of veal very fine, adding grated lemon peel and nutmeg. Melt a
piece of butter, add a little chopped onion and afterwards a trifle of rolled
cracker, and when this has been well browned, with constant stirring, put in the
roast veal jelly and also the juice of a lemon, and cook it to make a thick
ragout gravy. When cool, mix into the gravy a few eggs, the chopped meat and the
necessary salt; mould into small oblong fritters, turn in egg and cracker crumbs
and fry in butter to a light brown color. The fritters can be garnished with
minced parsley fried in butter, and served with various kinds of vegetables,
such as carrots, peas, cauliflowers, asparagus or artichokes.
