Calf's Tails

Cut four calf's tails in pieces an inch and a half long, fry them in boiling fat till they are lightly browned, then stew them in good gravy till they are quite tender. Serve them with thick brown sauce round them, and some stewed mushrooms on a separate dish. When mushrooms cannot be obtained, put a tea-spoonful of ketchup into the gravy. Time to stew, two hours. Probable cost, 9d. each. Sufficient for six persons.
