Mince some cooked veal (or mutton) very finely, season it with salt and pepper and a little mace, and add a small quantity of grated lemon-peel. Put the mince into a small stewpan and add sufficient white sauce to moisten slightly, and when it is thoroughly heated stir in some raw beaten egg (half an egg is enough for half a pound of meat), and spread it out on a dish. As soon as the mince is cold, form it into little corkshaped rissoles and envelop each in a very thin slice (cut so that it just covers the rissole) of partially cooked fat bacon. Flour the little rolls lightly, dip them into a thick batter and fry them in deep, boiling fat. Serve on a hot dish covered wth a paper d'oyley, and garnish with fried parsley.
