Brazilian Stew.—This stew is made by dipping inferior parts of beef or mutton into vinegar—which has the power of softening the fibres and making them tender. Take four pounds of shin of beef, clod, or sticking piece, cut it into small pieces, dip each piece into vinegar, put them with four onions, two carrots, two turnips, pepper and salt into a saucepan, without any water, and let it simmer very gently three or four hours.
