Brains, Sheep's, Fricasseed
Boil two sets of sheep's brains in slightly salted water for ten minutes; when cold slice each piece, sprinkle with chopped ham and parsley, and dredge with flour; season with pepper and salt, and dip in beaten egg; cover over with fine crumbs, and fry in boiling fat for eight minutes; then lay the brains on thin slices of fried bread, and garnish with fried bacon.
