1 teaspoonful black pepper.
Boil an hour: thicken with mixed milk and flour, and serve.
A piece of middling, bacon, or any other kind of meat, may be used instead of the beef shank. The best meat of the shank may be freed from gristle, chopped fine and made into a nice stew by adding
1 grated turnip.
1 mashed potato.
1 tablespoonful pepper sauce.
1 tablespoonful made mustard.
1 tablespoonful butter.
1 teaspoonful celery seed.
