Sweetbreads, Minced, in Paper Cases

Take some cold dressed sweetbreads, and cut them into dice. Take an equal quantity of mushrooms and cut them up also. Stew the mushrooms in butter, and add a slice of fat bacon, the sweetbreads, and a little parsley, pepper, and salt. One or two shallots may be added if liked. Simmer over a gentle fire till the mushrooms are done enough. Drain off the fat, take out the parsley, and place the preparation in small paper cases which have been thoroughly oiled. Sprinkle a pinch of savoury herbs on the top, and cover each one with finely-grated bread-crumbs. Put the cases in the oven for a moment that they may be thoroughly heated, squeeze into each a few drops of lemon-juice, add a spoonful of rich gravy, and serve very hot. Dish the minced sweetbreads on a napkin. Time to simmer the mixture, about a quarter of an hour.
