Fried Calf's Brains (Calf's brains should be soaked)
Calf's brains should be soaked in cold water until blanched, then simmered for ten minutes in water to which several tablespoonfuls of vinegar should be added. When cold cut them into quarters or thick slices, dip each piece into slightly-beaten egg, roll in bread crumbs and fry golden brown in smoking hot fat.
