Veal, Shoulder of, Boiled

Cut off the knuckle, and draw out the bones. Rub the underpart with a cut lemon, and sprinkle over it pepper, salt, and chopped parsley. Roll the meat, and skewer it neatly. Put it into a stewpan, cover with milk and water, and let it simmer gently till done enough. Carefully remove the scum as it rises, or the appearance of the dish will be spoilt. Send good onion sauce to table with it, and serve boiled bacon or pickled pork on a separate dish. This dish is by most people considered insipid. Time, twenty minutes to the pound. Probable cost, 8 1/2d. per pound, if bought whole.
