Cow-Heel, Fried

Prepare a cow-heel as before; simmer it gently for three hours, drain it, remove the bones, and cut it into convenient-sized pieces, about one inch and a half long. Mix some bread-crumbs with a little chopped parsley, salt, cayenne, and finely-shredded lemon-rind. Dip the pieces in beaten egg, then in the bread-crumbs, and fry them in hot butter or dripping till brightly browned. Put them on a hot dish, and pour over them some good melted butter flavoured with lemon-juice. Probable cost of cow-heel, 4d. to 8d. each. Sufficient, one heel for two or three persons.
