at the same time with the head; scum the pot well; then put in a piece of bacon,
in proportion to the number of people to eat thereof. You will find it to be
enough by the tenderness of the flesh about that part that joined to the neck.
When enough, you may grill it before the fire, or serve it up with melted
butter, bacon, and greens; and with the brains mashed and beat up with a little
butter, salt, pepper, vinegar, or lemon, sage, and parsley, in a separate plate,
and the tongue slit and laid in the same plate, or serve the brains whole, and
the tongue slit down the middle.
To boil Lamb.
A leg of Lamb of five pounds will not be boiled in less than an hour and a
quarter; and if, as it ought to be, it is boiled in a good deal of water, and
your pot be kept clean scum'd, you may dish it up as white as a curd. Send it to
table with stewed spinach; and melted butter in a boat.
To boil a Neat's Tongue.
A dried tongue should be soaked over night; when you dress it, put it into cold
water, and let it have room; it will take at least four hours. A green tongue
out of the pickle need not be soaked, but it will require near the same time. An
hour before you dish it up, take it out and blanch it, then put it into the pot
again till you want it; this will make it eat the tenderer.
