A rich Veal Pie.
CUT a loin of veal into steaks, and season them with
salt, pepper, nutmeg, and beaten mace. Lay the meat
in your dish, with sweetbreads seasoned, and the yolks of
fix hard eggs, a pint of oysters, and half a pint of good
gravy. Lay a good puff-paste round your dish, half an
inch thick, and cover it with a lid of the same substance.
Bake it an hour and a quarter in a quick oven. When
it comes home, take off the lid, cut it into eight or ten
pieces, and stick them round the inside of the rim of the
dish. Cover the meat with slices of lemon, and send the
pie hot to table.
