add a little salt, just enough to season the gravy, take the pack-thread off the veal, and set it upright in the dish; cut the sweetbread into four, and broil it of a fine brown, with a few forcemeat-balls fried; lay these round the dish, and pour in the sauce. Garnish the dish with lemon, and send it to table.
To collar a breast of mutton.
DO it the same way, and it eats very well. But you must take off the skin.
Another good way to dress a breast of mutton.
COLLAR it as before, roast it, and baste it with half a pint of red wine, and when that is all soaked in, baste it well with butter, have a little good gravy, set the mutton upright in the dish, pour in the gravy, have sweet sauce as for venison, and send it to table. Don't garnish the dish, but be sure to take the skin off the mutton. The inside of a surloin of beef is very good done this way. If you don't like the wine, a quart of milk, and a quarter of a pound of butter, put into the dripping-pan does full as well to baste it.

If you don't like the cauliflower, it may be omitted.
To boil a leg of lamb.
LET the leg be boiled very white. An hour will do it. Cut the loin into steaks, dip them into a few crumbs of bread and egg, fry them nice and brown, boil a good deal of spinage and
