PIG'S FRY (another way)

Procure a fresh pig's fry. Wash it well, and dry it, then cut it into slices the third of an inch in thickness. Butter a baking-dish, cover the bottom with a layer of the lean slices, and sprinkle over them a little powdered sage, minced onion, pepper, and salt. Place sliced potatoes on these, and then a layer of fat slices, with a little more seasoning, and sliced potatoes over the whole. Fill the dish with boiling stock or water, mixed smoothly with a small portion of flour, and bake in a moderate oven. Serve very hot. Time to bake, two hours and a half. Probable cost, 8d. per pound. Sufficient for three or four persons.
