Boiled Calf's Feet

Split each of three feet into halves and, after removing the large bones, put them to soak in fresh water for one hour. Wash thoroughly, drain and place them in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls of flour and three or four quarts of water. Stir well; add one gill of vinegar, one onion, one carrot (all cut into shreds), twelve whole peppers, a handful of salt and a bunch of garnished parsley, and cook briskly for an hour and a half. Drain thoroughly, and serve with any kind of sauce.
