Neck of Mutton. No. 5. Crumbed, without the Scrag. (Mrs. Thomass.)
Simmer gently till nearly done, 5 lbs. weight will require fully 2 hours; 20 minutes before serving, half divide each bone from the next and cover all thickly with bread-crumbs mixed with a few sweet herbs chopped fine and the yolk of 1 egg. Put it into the Dutch oven before the fire and let it brown.
Serve hot with a good thick gravy. A nice dish for luncheon. The liquor it has been boiled in will make good carrot or pea or other vegetable soup.
