MOCK TURTLE OR CALF’S HEAD.
Clean the head well; let it soak for a few minutes in cold water; take out the lower jaw, the nose and the eyes: then put it down to boil; skim it well, and when the bones will fall from the meat, cut the meat in small pieces; take out carefully all the small bones; have some onions chopped fine, nutmeg, mace, cloves, pepper, salt, bread crumbs, butter and egg, all well mixed together; put these nicely arranged in a pan with some of the gravy; put egg and butter on the top; bake it twenty minutes in an oven; when done, take it up; season the gravy with red wine and mushroom catsup.
