The Brains must be cut in pieces, and strew'd
with a little red Sage cut very small, and a little Spice and Salt; and
then every piece, dip'd in a thick Batter, made of Eggs, Flour, and Milk.
Fry these well in hot Hog's-Lard, or for want of that, in hot melted
Beef-Suet; then take Oysters, a little stew'd in their own Liquor, with
Mace, and a little whole Pepper; take off their Fins, and dip them in the
same Batter, and fry them as directed above for the Brains. There must be
likewise some Pieces of Bread cut the length of one's Finger, and fry'd
crisp; all these are by way of Garnish. One may likewise boil some
Skirret-Roots, and peel them, and then dip them in the Batter, and fry them
crisp. As for the other part of the Garnish, it must be red Beets pickled
and sliced, and Lemon sliced.
_Calf's-Head-_Pye. From the same.
Take a large Calf's-Head, divide it, and when it is well cleaned, boil it
half enough; then cut it in large slices, and slit the Eyes, season it with
Nutmeg, Pepper, Salt, and some powder of dry'd sweet Herbs; then lay it in
your Paste, with some Pepper and Salt, at the Bottom, with some bits of
Butter; then put in the Yolks of twelve hard Eggs, and a farced Meat made
in the following manner.
