Take a leg of veal, cut it into small collops, and beat them well with the back of a knife; Fry them in butter, and when they are enough, stew them in gravy, with a sprig of time, a little nutmeg, beaten pepper, a shallot, and some anchovies minced small, with a little butter, and the yolks of fix eggs : keep it shaking left it curdle; then fry some thin slices of bacon, and put into the dish.
Take an ox cheek that is well clean'd, and break all the bones on the inside with a cleaver; then season it with salt, pepper and a little mace; this done, put it into a broad pan, that has been rub'd. with an onion in the inside, if not disliked; afterwards put in a little thyme, sweet marjoram, and three or four bay leaves: to these add half a pint of mountain wine, with four spoonfuls of water; and if any bones were taken out lay them upper-most; then cover the pan close, and set it in the oven for fix hours. If it is stew'd, more liquor must be added.
Take three pounds of beef cut into small bits, and a pound of suet tried; then season it with mace, nutmegs, pepper, and salt-peter: this done, take sweet marjoram, thyme, penny-royal, and an onion; shred them very small, and mix with the beef and suet; suet; place a layer of these at the bottom of an earthen pot, and then a layer of bacon, and soon; then put in half a pint of red port, and lay some butter on the top of all: cover the pan up close; and let it stand to bake in the oven for two hours; afterwards pour the liquor out of the pan, and put in a proper quantity of butter.
Take a buttock of beef, and cut it into large steaks, and lard them with bacon; fry them brown, and put them in a pot that will just hold them; then pour in two quarts of broth, or gravy, a few sweet herbs, an onion, some mace, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and salt: this done, cover it up close, and flew it till it is tender; skim off all the fat, lay the meat in the dish, and strain the sauce over it. Some omit the larding of the beef.
Powder two nutmegs, mix them with pepper and salt, and season the rump of beef therewith; lay the fat side downward in the (lew-pan, with three whole onions, stuck with a few cloves, and a bunch of sweet herbs; then pour in a pint of red port, and three pints of water; cover the pan close, and let it stew over a gentle fire for four or five hours. Take up the beef, and lay it on sippets in a dish; then skim the fat off the liquor, and pour the liquor over the meat.
Take the bone out of a rump of beef, as carefully and as clean as you can, and slit it down from the top to the bottom, and spread it open: this done, take the flesh of two fowls, with as much boiled ham and beef suet; add to these a little pepper, an anchovy, a nutmeg grated, a little thyme, a good deal of parsely, and a few mushrooms: chop them all together, and beat them in a mortar with half a pint bason full of crumbs of bread : to this mixture add the yolks of four eggs, and when they are incorporated together, put the whole into the beef that was laid open; close the beef round the mixture, and roll it up, fattening it together with a skewer, and tie it with a pack-thread cross and cross, to bind it close. Take a pot, sauce-pan, or deep stew-pan that will just hold it, and at the bottom of it place a layer of beef, and a layer of bacon cut into thin dices, together with a piece of carrot, some whole pepper, mace, sweet herbs, and a large onion; lay the roll'd beef upon these, and pour in water enough just to cover the beef: cover the pan up close, and let it stew softly over a flow fire for eight or ten hours; then take the beef up, keep it hot, and boil the gravy till it is good; then strain it off, and put in some mushrooms, morells, and truffles cut small, with two spoonfuls of white wine, the yolks of two eggs, and a piece of butter rolled in flour : boil them all together, and in the mean time set the meat before the fire, bade it with butter, and strew crumbs of bread all over it: when the sauce is enough, lay the meat in the dish, and pour the sauce over it.
