One carrot, cut in dice,
Two onions sliced,
One faggot of soup herbs,
Two bay leaves,
Two allspice,
Four cloves,
One cup of strong cider vinegar.
Cover closely and bring to a boil; then simmer and keep just below the boiling point for three hours. Let cool in the liquid and then, when cold, chill in the ice box before slicing.
The coarse left-over parts of the tongue may be used for meat loaf, croquettes or hash.
