Sheep's Brains with Remoulade Sauce
Steep four or five sheep's brains in cold water, remove the skin, and place them in fresh cold water for an hour. Put some vegetables cut in pieces into a saucepan of cold water for an hour, and add a sprig of parsley, one wineglassful of Madeira or white wine and a little salt. Boil for a few minutes, then put in the brains, and boil again for ten minutes; take out the brains, drain them, put them on a dish, and mask with hot remoulade sauce.
