 bacon, with calf's udder and chaldron blanched, and cut into dice or dices, put them into a stew-pan and season with fine spice pounded, a bay-leaf, some salt, pepper, and shalot cut smal, and about half a pint of cream; toss it up, take off the pan, and thicken your mixture with four or five yolks of eggs and some crumbs of bread, then fill up your chitterlings with the stuffing, keep it warm, tie the other ends with packthread, blanch and boil them like hog's chitterlings, let them grow cold in their own liquor before you serve them up; boil them over a moderate fire, and serve them up pretty hot.
