Rh seasoning of salt and pepper, and cover with the remainder of the sausage meat. Roll the meat up tightly, wrap it in a pudding cloth, secure the ends with string, put the roll into boiling stock, or into boiling water, to which has been added the veal bones, 1 or 2 onions, 1 or 2 small carrots, 1 turnip, celery, salt and peppercorns, and cook gently for 3 or 3½ hours. When cooked and nearly cold take off the cloth, which always becomes loose, re-roll, tie tightly as before, and press the galantine between two boards or dishes until cold. Before serving brush over with glaze, and garnish with parsley, and, if liked, some fancifully-shaped, or coarsely-chopped aspic jelly.

Time.—From 3 to 3½ hours, to boil the galantine. Average Cost, 1s. per lb.

Ingredients.—½ lb. of cold veal (or veal and ham mixed), 2 tablespoonfuls of white breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoonful of finely-chopped parsleyparsley, [sic] ½ teaspoonful of grated lemon-rind, a pinch of nutmeg, 1 egg, 1 or 2 tablespoonfuls of gravy or milk, a few browned breadcrumbs, ½ pint of gravy.

Method.—Grease a round mould or cake tin, and well cover it with browned breadcrumbs. Put the bones and browned trimmings of the meat into a stewpan with a little salt and pepper, and boil gently until the gravy is required, then strain and season to taste. Chop the meat finely, add to it the white breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon-rind, nutmeg, the egg beaten, and as much gravy or milk as will thoroughly moisten the whole.

Turn out, pour a little gravy round, and serve the remainder separately.

Time.—About 1¼ hours, altogether. Average Cost, 3d. or 4d., exclusive of the meat. Sufficient for 3 or 4 persons.

Ingredients.—1½ lb. of fillet of veal, a few strips of larding bacon, 1 pint of good stock, 2 ozs. of butter, 1 oz. of flour, 1 onion, 1 carrot, ½ a turnip, 2 strips of celery, 6 peppercorns, 1 clove, a bouquet-garni (parsley, thyme, bay-leaf), meat glaze, salt, pepper.
