Calf's Head To Dress Like Turtle Recipe
The wool must be scalded off in the same manner as the hair is taken off
a little pig, which may be done at the butcher's; then wash and parboil
it; cut the meat from the bones, and put it in a saucepan, with as much
of the broth as will just cover it. Put in half a tea-spoonful of
cayenne pepper, and some common pepper and salt, a large onion, and a
faggot of sweet-herbs; take out the herbs and the onion before it
breaks. About half an hour before it is done, put three quarters of a
pint of white or raisin wine; have ready the yolks of six or eight eggs
boiled hard, which you must make into small balls, and put in just
before you serve it up. It will take two hours and a half, or perhaps
three hours doing, over a slow fire.
