Cow-heel.—Get a ready-dressed cow-heel, put it on in a pint and a half of milk with an onion in it; let it boil till the bones will slip out. The milk strained and sweetened is very nourishing hot or cold for children. The heel is eaten with a little parsley and butter made as follows :—Put half an ounce of butter into a little saucepan to melt, stir smoothly into it a quarter of an ounce of flour, pour into it by degrees a quarter of a pint of the
liquor in which the meat was boiled (or plain water), stir till it boils, move it to the side of the fire, chop a teaspoonful of parsley, washed and dried, stir into it, and serve directly.
