When you salt a tongue, cut off the root, and take some ox-palates, wash them clean, cut them into six or seven pieces, put them into an earthen pot, just cover them with water, put in a blade or two of mace, twelve whole pepper-corns, three or four cloves, a little bundle of sweet herbs, a small onion, half a spoonful of raspings; cover it close with brown paper, and let it be well baked. When it comes out of the oven, season it with salt to your palate.
