Kale Brose

Take an ox-heel, cleanse it thoroughly, and pour over it five pints of water. Bring it to a boil, remove the scum as it rises, and let it simmer gently for four hours. Meanwhile take two large handfuls of greens; cleanse, and free them from insects, then shred them very finely. Put them into the broth; and when sufficiently cooked, stir half a pint of toasted oatmeal into a little of the fat broth. It should be stirred with the handle of a spoon, and very quickly, so as not to run into one mass, but to form knots. Add it to the rest, with salt and pepper to taste, let all boil up together, and serve as hot as possible. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for six persons.
