Reindeer Tongue, to Boil

Soak the tongue in cold water for three hours. Put it in an airy situation till dry, then soak it again, and repeat this process three times. When it is to be cooked scrape it well, put it into a saucepan with as much cold water as will cover it, bring it slowly to the boil, and skim it well. Draw the saucepan to the side, and simmer the tongue until it is tender. Serve on a neatly-folded table-napkin, and garnish the dish with parsley. Time to simmer, three hours. Sufficient for a small breakfast or luncheon dish.
