and morels, a spoonful of catchup, and two spoonfuls of white wine. While those
are boiling together flour the veal, and fry it in butter till it comes to be of

few mushrooms.
Boil all together till the liquor becomes rich and thick, cut the sweetbread
into four, and spread the pieces and forced-meat balls over the dish, having
first laid the veal in the dish, and poured the sauce all over it. Garnish with
sliced lemon.
