BULLOCK'S TONGUE, CURED (another way)

To half an ounce of saltpetre, pounded, two ounces of common salt, and an ounce and a half of coarse sugar, add a little bay salt, and rub it into a tongue every day for eight or nine days, turning it frequently. Remove it from the pickle, drain, and hang it in a warm but not hot place, to dry and harden. It may be cooked whole, or a small piece may be cut off as required, and when boiled, grated for gravy. Probable cost, 5s. to 6s.
