Different Ways of Dressing Calf’s Head
To Boil.
Clean it very nicely, and soak it in water, that it may look very white. Take out the tongue to salt, and the brains to make a little dish. Boil the head extremely tender; then strew it over with crumbs and chopped parsley, and brown them; or, if preferred, leave one side plain.
Bacon and greens are to be served to eat with it.
The brains must be boiled, and then mixed with melted butter, chopped scalded sage, pepper, and salt.
If any be left of the head, it may be hashed next day, and a few slices of bacon just warmed and put round.
Cold calf’s head eats well.
