Neats' Tongues, to Salt for Immediate Use

Take a couple of neats' tongues. Trim them neatly, and cut off the roots without taking away the under fat, wash them thoroughly, dry them in a cloth, and rub them well with two ounces of common salt, one ounce of brown sugar, and half an ounce of saltpetre. Place them in a long deep pan, and turn and rub them every day for a fortnight, at the end of which time they will be ready for use. Probable cost, 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. each. Sufficient, one tongue for eight or nine persons.
