To dress a MOCK Turtle.
TAKE the largest calf's head you can get,
with the skin on, put it in scalding water till
you find the hair will come off, clean it well,
and wash it in warm water, and boil it three
quarters of an hour, then take it out of the
water and slit it down the face, cut off all the
meat along with the skin as clean from the bone
as you can, and be careful you do not break the
ears off, lay it on a flat dish, and stuff the ears
with forcemeat, and tie them round with cloths,
take the eyes out, and pick all the rest of the
meat clean from the bones, put it in a tossing
pan, with the nicest and fattest part of another
calf's head, without the skin on, boiled as long
as the above, and three quarts of veal gravy,
lay the skin in the pan on the meat; with the flesh
side up, cover the pan close, and let it stew over
a moderate fire one hour, then put in three
sweetbreads fried a light brown, one ounce of
morels, the same of truffles, five artichoke bot-
toms boiled, one anchovy boned and chopped
small,
